PNG to SVG — What This Tool Does
This tool wraps your PNG image inside a standard SVG container, producing a valid .svg file that references the image as a Base64-embedded data URI. The result is infinitely scalable, can be embedded in HTML, styled with CSS, and opened in any SVG editor or browser.
Raster vs Vector SVG
| Approach | Description | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Embedded SVG (this tool) | PNG data encoded inside SVG | Web use, CSS styling, scalability |
| True vectorisation | Traces paths using potrace algorithms | Logos, icons, line art |
When to Use Embedded SVG
An embedded SVG is ideal when you need a single file format accepted by SVG-only systems, want to apply SVG filters or CSS transforms to a photo, or need to embed images in SVG-based documents. For true path-based vectorisation of logos and icons, use a dedicated tool like Inkscape's "Trace Bitmap" feature.
