Zoom in
A PNG is a grid of coloured squares, so it turns soft and jagged when you enlarge it. An SVG describes the same shapes as curves, so it stays crisp at any size, on a sticker or a billboard.
Every curve follows an edge that is really in your image. Nothing is redrawn or invented, so letters, spacing and proportions stay yours.
Pick from 2 to 32 colours. Each one becomes its own layer of shapes, ready to recolour or cut.
Open the file in Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, Affinity, Canva, Cricut Design Space or your laser software, and move every node.

Start from the matching preset, then fine-tune with three sliders. The preview updates as you drag.
Rescue a blurry logo from a screenshot or an old website and get a vector you can print large.
Preset: Logo. Raise Colours if two shades merge.
Turn a design into a cut file with separate colour layers that do not overlap, so each vinyl colour cuts clean.
Preset: Cut file. Layers set to Cut out.
Make crisp outlines for LightBurn, Glowforge or xTool from a sketch, a logo or a photo of a drawing.
Preset: Drawing. One colour, smooth curves.
Get clean, flat shapes with few colours, the starting point digitizing software needs to plan the stitches.
Preset: Logo with 4 to 6 colours.

FAQ
Yes. There are no credits, no paid tier, no watermark and no daily limit. The tracing runs on your own device, so a vector costs nothing to serve. The SVGs you make are yours to use, commercially too, as long as you have the rights to the image you traced.
No. The tracing engine runs inside your browser and your images are never sent anywhere. You can check in your browser's network panel. The only other host the site talks to is a cookieless page-view counter, which you can switch off. After the first visit the tool also works offline.
Not a faithful one. Chat assistants and image generators draw a new picture: an image generator returns pixels (PNG or JPEG), not paths, and an SVG written by a chat assistant is redrawn from a description of your image, so letters, spacing and shapes shift. Vectorize.tools traces your own pixels into editable paths: every curve follows an edge that is really in your file, which is what cutting machines, lasers and print shops need.
Logos, icons, clip art, stickers, drawings, signatures and scans: anything with flat colours and clear edges. Photos work too, but they come out as poster-style art made of colour shapes, not a photo-realistic copy. For a photo of a product or a person, remove the background first, for example with Clipout, so the tracer does not spend its colours on the backdrop.
You choose from 2 to 32 in colour mode, or one colour in black and white mode. Each colour becomes its own group of shapes. Layers set to Cut out makes the colour areas sit side by side without overlapping, which is what vinyl cutting and screen printing want.
Yes. Upload the SVG to Cricut Design Space and each colour arrives as its own layer, ready to cut. Silhouette Studio opens SVG files in Designer Edition and higher; the free Basic Edition cannot, so use the PNG export with Silhouette's own trace there.
Yes. LightBurn, Glowforge, xTool Creative Space and other laser software import SVG. The shapes are filled, so most programs set them to engrave; switch the operation to cut or score to follow their outlines. The Drawing preset (one colour, smooth curves) gives the cleanest cut lines.
It makes the vector you digitize from. Embroidery machines need stitch files (PES, DST and others), which digitizing software such as Hatch, Embrilliance or Ink/Stitch creates from an SVG. Fewer colours means fewer thread changes, so start with 4 to 6.
The SVG has no fixed size: it scales to anything without losing sharpness, and it opens at the size of your original image. The PNG export goes up to 8,192 pixels on the longest side on a computer and 4,096 on a phone.
