JPG to SVG Changing Raster Images to Vector Graphics

Wiki Article

Scalable Vector Graphics — vector graphics — is fundamentally different from JPG. While JPG saves images as a pixel grid, SVG stores images as geometric descriptions of paths and colors. Meaning SVG graphics can be displayed at any size — from a 16x16 pixel favicon to a billboard — without pixelation.

Transforming JPG to SVG is a operation known as image vectorization, and it is particularly valuable for logos and flat artwork.

When converting JPG to SVG, it is essential to know how the process works. A JPG is a bitmap image — a set grid of dots. An SVG is a mathematical image — a collection of paths that a browser uses to draw the artwork.

The conversion works great for simple images with distinct shapes and few colors — logos, icons, silhouettes and flat artwork. Results are poor for photographic images with thousands of colors.

For best output, Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace tool provides the most precision. Open your JPG in Illustrator, highlight the here image, access the Image Trace settings and pick an suitable option.
