# Convert JPG to SVG.

> JPG traced into scalable vector paths — right on-device.

Convert JPG images to vector SVG right in your browser — **traced on your device, nothing uploaded**. Exported logos, scanned drawings and lettering become scalable, editable paths; pick color tracing or a black & white stencil.

**No uploads · No ads · Free & open source.**

## How it works

1. Drop files anywhere on the page, click to browse, or paste with Ctrl/⌘ + V.
2. Pick a quality or preset — or set an exact target size and let the tool find it.
3. Compress, compare before/after, and download — individually or as a ZIP.

## From JPG to editable vectors

Tracing turns pixels into geometry: paths that stay sharp at billboard size and open in any vector editor. It shines on graphics that were rasterized somewhere along the way — a logo that only survives as a JPG, a scanned sketch, hand lettering. Photographs are the wrong input: they trace into heavy approximations, usually larger than the JPG itself; keep those on [Compress JPG](https://compress-pro.com/compress-jpg). The finished vector can be minified further with [Compress SVG](https://compress-pro.com/compress-svg).

## JPEG noise and the Detail dial

JPEG compression sprinkles subtle noise around edges, and a tracer faithfully picks it up as tiny stray shapes. If the result looks speckled, lower the Detail slider — it merges small artifacts away — and clean, high-quality sources always trace best. Black & white mode ignores color noise entirely, which makes it the most forgiving choice for scans.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which JPGs vectorize well?

Logos, lettering, scanned line art and drawings with flat areas. The cleaner and sharper the source, the better the trace — heavily compressed or photographic JPGs come out rough.

### Why is the SVG larger than my JPG?

Detailed images need many paths to approximate, and each path costs bytes. Simple graphics produce small SVGs; photos rarely do — that is inherent to tracing, not a bug.

### What is the black & white mode for?

It traces a single-color stencil — ideal for cutting machines, stamps, watermarks and one-color print, and it shrugs off JPEG color noise.

### Are my images uploaded?

No — the pixels never leave your machine. Decoding and re-encoding both happen in your browser; there is no upload to wait for and no server-side copy to worry about afterwards. Want proof? Run one file through, switch your connection off, and run another — it still works.
