JPEG to SVG Converter

Convert JPEG images to SVG vector graphics in your browser. SizeMyPic traces your JPEG into clean vector paths, producing resolution-independent SVGs from raster source images. Everything runs client-side — your files never leave your device.

Why Convert JPEG to SVG?

Resolution Independence

JPEG images pixelate when scaled up. SVG vectors scale infinitely — zoom to any size and edges stay sharp. Converting a JPEG logo or illustration to SVG means it works at any dimension, from 16px favicons to large-format prints.

Creative Posterization Effects

Vectorizing photographs produces a stylized, posterized aesthetic that's popular for illustrations, album art, and graphic design. The color quantization process creates bold, flat color regions from photographic gradients — an effect that's tedious to achieve manually.

Browser-Based Tracing

No need to install Illustrator's Image Trace or Inkscape. SizeMyPic's JavaScript-based tracer (using the ImageTracer algorithm) runs directly in your browser. Adjust detail from 4 to 64 colors and preview results before downloading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert a JPEG photo to a realistic SVG?

Not exactly. Vectorization converts continuous-tone photographs into discrete color regions with hard edges. The result is always a stylized interpretation — think poster art rather than photorealism. For simple graphics, logos, and illustrations saved as JPEG, the trace can be very accurate. For photographs, expect an artistic effect.

Why is my SVG file larger than the original JPEG?

Complex images with many colors and details generate thousands of vector paths, which can exceed the JPEG file size. This is normal for photographs. To reduce SVG file size, lower the quality slider — this reduces color count and simplifies paths. For simple graphics with few colors, the SVG may actually be smaller than the JPEG.

What quality setting should I use for JPEG to SVG?

For logos and simple graphics, use a low setting (4-16 colors) for clean, minimal vectors. For illustrations, try mid-range (16-32 colors) for more detail while keeping paths manageable. For artistic effects on photos, higher settings (32-64 colors) capture more tonal variation. Start low and increase until you're satisfied with the detail level.
