JPEG to SVG
JPEG to SVG tracer
Drop a JPEG and this page traces it into an SVG built from filled rectangles - pixel colors merged into flat shapes, merged into larger rects where they touch. No library, no server, no upload. Honest limits: this is a pixel-approximation tracer, not a smooth curve tracer like Potrace - JPEG compression artifacts add speckle colors, photos become huge blocky files, text turns into colored rectangles, and gradients go blocky.
Traced SVG preview
- The SVG is built from filled rectangles that follow the JPEG pixels - it is a pixel approximation, not smooth curves like a true tracer (Potrace) produces.
- JPEG is lossy: compression artifacts add speckle colors, so the tracer sees more colors than the original design had - flat icons saved as PNG trace more cleanly.
- Fewer colors means a smaller file; 2-4 colors suits simple graphics, 32-64 keeps more detail at a bigger size.
- The background-removal option drops pixels matching the top-left corner color - JPEG has no transparency, so the background is always a real color.
- The traced SVG renders at the original pixel size - scale it freely, it never gets blurry.
- Your JPEG is read and traced inside this page - it is never uploaded to a server.
- Text in the JPEG becomes colored rectangles - it will not be selectable or editable inside the SVG.
- Smooth gradients and photos become huge blocky files; flat icons and screenshots trace cleanly.
- Very large photos hit the megapixel and rectangle caps because tracing them would freeze this page for minutes.
- Thin dark lines on light backgrounds can break up at low color counts - raise the colors if edges disappear.
- Check the preview and file size before downloading: if the SVG is larger than the JPEG, the image was not flat enough to trace.
