Raster to VectorImages

Turn fixed-resolution logos and artwork into inspectable, scalable SVG.

Raster to Vector traces PNG, JPEG, HEIC, TIFF, and WebP artwork into SVG paths locally on your Mac. Compare the source and vector in a split preview, choose Auto, Photo, Clip-art, or Logo tracing, inspect path count and output size, then copy the SVG markup, save a preview, or convert a complete batch to full-resolution vector files.

Finished examples

Trace more than one kind of artwork.

Real Foldout SVG previews from a crisp mark, an app icon, and flat illustration artwork, each traced with settings suited to its source.

Crisp logo mark

Logo tracing keeps hard edges and simple color regions clean for scalable brand artwork.

Layered app icon

High-detail Clip-art tracing preserves the broad shapes and color separation of a polished icon.

Flat campaign illustration

Clip-art tracing turns a compact illustrated tile into scalable color paths without treating it like a photograph.

Foldout transforms user-supplied files locally. It does not generate synthetic people, voices, likenesses, or media from prompts.

What it does

Trace raster artwork into SVG, compare the result, and export only after inspecting its complexity.

Compare the original pixels and traced SVG side by side before export.

Choose Auto, Photo, Clip-art, or Logo tracing according to the artwork.

Use quick Fast, Balanced, Clean Logo, and High Detail choices.

Inspect generated path count, SVG byte size, and native preview status.

Copy SVG markup, save the current preview, or convert the full-resolution source.

Process several raster files while keeping originals untouched.

From pixels to paths

Inspect the trace before making the vector your source of truth.

Compare the raster and SVG, choose a tracing strategy, check path complexity, and copy or save the result without leaving the workspace.

01

Compare the raster mark with the traced SVG

Use the split preview to inspect edges and shape fidelity before replacing a fixed-resolution logo with scalable vector paths.

02

Match the tracing strategy to the artwork

Choose Auto, Photo, Clip-art, or Logo behavior, add high detail when needed, and check path count plus SVG size before export.

03

Copy the SVG or save a full-resolution vector

Copy preview markup immediately, save a chosen preview, or convert the full source and review the generated SVG result beside its original.

Why it belongs

Why Raster to Vector earns a place in the toolbox.

The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.

Source and vector share one canvas

Split, SVG-only, and original-only views make edge fidelity and unwanted tracing artifacts visible before saving.

Presets match different artwork

Auto classifies the source, while Photo, Clip-art, and Logo give explicit control over shaded imagery, flat regions, and crisp marks.

Complexity is not hidden

Path count, SVG size, and preview status reveal whether the result is clean enough for the intended use.

Use the vector immediately

Copy preview SVG markup, save the current preview, or write full-resolution SVG files beside the original batch.

How to use it

From opening the tool to saving the result.

  1. 01

    Add one raster image or a batch.

  2. 02

    Choose Auto, Photo, Clip-art, or Logo tracing and detail level.

  3. 03

    Inspect the split preview, path count, and SVG size.

  4. 04

    Copy or save the preview, or convert the complete full-resolution batch.

Questions

Before you try Raster to Vector

Which raster formats can it open?

It accepts PNG, JPEG, HEIC, TIFF, and WebP where supported by macOS.

Can I compare the source and vector?

Yes. Use Split, SVG, or Original preview modes and zoom or fit the canvas.

Which preset should I use for a logo?

Choose Logo or the Clean Logo quick option for crisp marks, signatures, and line art.

Can I process more than one image?

Yes. Add several raster files and convert the full batch to separately saved SVG outputs.

Trim SVG

Trim SVG recalculates the vector canvas around the visible artwork and previews the rendered result before it becomes the file you use. Keep the source by default, write a clearly named trimmed copy, and let unsupported SVGs fail safely instead of risking the original.

Optimize SVG

Optimize SVG strips metadata, comments, titles, editor-only markup, redundant groups, and safe default attributes while preserving the artwork and viewBox. Foldout renders the optimized bytes before writing anything, reports the exact original size, optimized size, and percentage saved, then creates a separate -optimized SVG by default.

Color Palette

Color Palette extracts three to twelve dominant colors from a real image and keeps every exact hex value visible. Copy one swatch or export the complete palette as a hex list, CSS, Swift, or an Adobe .aco file without uploading the source.

App Icon & Favicon

App Icon & Favicon renders the actual platform crop before generating the files. Preview square iOS and web artwork, a padded rounded macOS icon, and a circular Android launcher; select any combination of platform families; then write appiconsets, manifests, favicons, density folders, and launcher variants into one organized output folder.
