Black and white raster to SVG
Black and White Image to SVG Converter
Turn high-contrast art and scans into editable SVG paths. Binary mode produces a true black/white input before tracing for predictable results.
Convert black and white PNG, JPEG, JPG, and WEBP images into crisp vector SVG with live preview.
This PNG to SVG conversion page only rate limits backend raster tracing and server-side conversion work. Preview rendering, copy, local download generation, and browser-only setting changes are not rate limited because they do not use server conversion compute. Backend conversion actions allow up to 120 conversions per minute, 400 conversions every 5 minutes, 1500 conversions per hour, and 3000 conversions per day for the same connection and browser profile.
Tips for cleaner output
If your source is gray, increase contrast before uploading.
Threshold decides what becomes black. Small changes can fix missing lines.
Increase turd size when scans contain dust or tiny dots.
Raise curve tolerance to reduce node count and smooth jagged edges.

Frequently asked questions
What images work best?
High-contrast black and white images, scans, and simple 2-color designs work best.
What does Binary mode do?
It thresholds the image into true black and white before tracing, which makes results more predictable for 2-color artwork.
Why does my SVG have lots of tiny dots?
Increase Turd size to remove small specks and scanner dust.
Why are lines missing?
Adjust threshold. If thin strokes are disappearing, try a lower threshold or invert input before tracing.
Does this tool have usage limits?
Only backend conversion work is rate limited. Preview rendering, copy, download, layer color changes, and local setting changes are not rate limited because they run in your browser. Backend raster tracing allows up to 120 conversions per minute, 400 conversions every 5 minutes, 1500 conversions per hour, and 3000 conversions per day for the same connection and browser profile.
Can I export with a background?
Yes. Keep transparency on or disable it to inject a solid background color into the SVG.
