About png to svg (trace)

Convert a bitmap to SVG paths via potrace tracing. It sits in the image shelf alongside 168 other image tools, needs no account, and keeps the same behaviour whether you open it here or call it through the REST API.

It takes any image and gives back SVG. The work happens on our servers, and the upload is encrypted per file and deleted an hour later — 24 hours if you are signed in. The same operation is available programmatically at POST /v1/image/png-to-svg-trace.

PNG to SVG (Trace) questions

Where does PNG to SVG (Trace) process my file?

On our own servers. This tool needs more than a browser tab can provide, so the file is uploaded over TLS, processed on our infrastructure — no third-party processing APIs are in the path — and both the input and the result are deleted within an hour.

What files can I use with PNG to SVG (Trace)?

Any image file your browser can read. The limit is 20 MB per file.

Can I run PNG to SVG (Trace) on several files at once?

Yes. PNG to SVG (Trace) takes one file at a time, so selecting several runs it once per file, one after another, and you get a result for each.

Do I need an account to use PNG to SVG (Trace)?

No. PNG to SVG (Trace) works without signing in, and that is not a trial — it is how the free tier works. An account only matters for things that need one to exist at all: larger server jobs against your quota, API keys, saved workflows and billing.

Can I run PNG to SVG (Trace) from my own code?

Yes. Every tool on the site is reachable from the REST API with the same slug — `png-to-svg-trace` — and the same options as this page, so anything you can do here you can automate against your own files.
