Drag and drop an image (PNG, JPG or GIF) into the dashed field, choose either SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) or AI (abode illustrator).

Use the popup version for your convenience.

Copy and paste the content of the textfield into a plain-text editor and save the file as .svg or .ai.

Input PNG, JPG or GIF. Output, AI (abode illustrator) or highly optimized SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics).
Maximum image size 1600 x 1600 pixels.
Your image is not stored on a server; all data is processed on your local machine.
Adjust the roundness of the corners for a 'pixel perfect' result (default) or a more artistic, organic result (and all options between).

bitmap to vector; from left to right the original bitmap, the pixel-perfect vector file and a vector file with round corners — bitmap to vector; from left to right the original bitmap, the 'pixel perfect' vector file and the vector file with round corners (the curvature of the corners can be adjusted with the slider).

The HTML5 application on this page converts your bitmap image online into a Scalable Vector Graphics or Adobe Illustrator file.
The result is a 'pixel perfect' vector graphic file which can be used in Adobe Illustrator or any other vector graphics editing program which support the open Scalable Vector Graphics fileformat or the Adobe Illustrator file format.
