SVG is scalable, editable, and tiny. PNG is none of those. Vectorize PNG when quality matters at any size.
What trace well
- **Logos** — 2–5 colors, clean shapes
- **Icons** — simple geometry
- **Line art** — black-on-white drawings
- **Signatures** — smooth strokes
What trace poorly
- Photographs
- Complex gradients
- Noise-heavy images
- Text with anti-aliasing
How it works
Our tracer (based on Potrace) analyzes color boundaries and reconstructs paths. You control:
- **Color count** — 2 (B&W) to 16+ (color)
- **Smoothing** — high for logos, low for detail
- **Background removal** — skip tracing the background
Use cases
- Logo redraw
- Icon upscaling
- Printable graphics
- T-shirt design
- Web animations
