JPG to SVG.
No more muddy edges.

JPG is designed for photos, it blurs edges on purpose to save bytes. That's fine for a landscape, ruinous for a logo. Convert your JPG to SVG and you get crisp edges, no compression artefacts, and an editable file that actually scales.

Your JPG is processed to make the SVG and then discarded. We don't keep uploads. Privacy.

Why convert

JPG is lossy, SVG isn't

JPG compression throws away "unimportant" detail to save bytes, which works beautifully for photographs and ruins anything with hard edges. If you've ever saved a logo as a JPG and seen a halo of greyish noise around the letters, that's the compressor deciding detail didn't matter. SVG doesn't store detail at all, it stores shapes. There's no quality setting, no artefacts, nothing to tune. Just the geometry, rendered fresh every time.

How it works

From JPG to editable SVG in three steps

01

Upload your JPG

Photos, scanned logos, screenshots saved as JPG, all work. Up to 5 MB. The converter accepts any dimensions and re-encodes server-side before calling the model.

02

AI reinterprets the shapes

This is not pixel-for-pixel tracing. Gemini 3 reads the JPG, works out what it's looking at, and writes a clean SVG from scratch, without the compression smear the JPG carries.

03

Download and use

Preview the SVG side-by-side with your JPG, download, and drop into your design, slides, or codebase. Or open it in Studio to refine further.

JPG specifics

What's different about converting a JPG

No transparency to start with

JPGs can't be transparent, they always have a solid background. Often that's white, sometimes a colour the designer chose. The AI will include the background as its own layer, so you can delete or recolour it in one click.

Artefact-resistant output

The SVG comes out clean even when the JPG has heavy compression. The AI identifies intended shapes, not observed pixels, so the greyish edge halo doesn't propagate into your vector.

Old scanned logos, reborn

A classic use case: the only copy of a logo you have is a 400×400 JPG someone emailed you years ago. Upload it here and get a clean SVG that scales to any size you need.

Complex photos are a stretch

A detailed photograph has too much information to represent as flat vector shapes, the AI will simplify aggressively. For icons, logos and flat illustrations the result is genuinely good; for photos, it's stylised.

FAQ

JPG conversion FAQ

My JPG is heavily compressed, will that ruin the result?

Less than you'd think. The AI is reading what the image represents rather than copying pixels, so a lossy JPG often produces a cleaner SVG than a lossy raster trace would. If the original shapes were recognisable, the SVG will be clean.

Can I make the SVG background transparent?

The converter includes the JPG's background as its own layer. Download, open the SVG in any editor (or Vectos Studio) and delete that layer, the rest of the SVG becomes transparent.

Will it work on a photo of a sunset or a crowd?

It'll try, but the result will be heavily stylised. For photographic subjects, a proper raster tracer or an AI stylisation tool gives better results. This tool is tuned for icons, logos, flat illustrations, and simple graphics.

How does this compare to a free online tracer?

Free tracers produce one giant path with thousands of anchor points. Ours produces a handful of named, editable layers, you can recolour the logo, delete the background, edit a letter. Tracers are faster on photos; ours is better for things you'd actually edit.

Max file size?

5 MB. The JPG is downscaled to 1024px longest edge before being processed, so source resolution doesn't affect quality, just upload time.

Do I own the SVG?

Yes. No watermark, no credit required, commercial use is fine. See Terms.
