What is SVGcode and what does it do?

SVGcode is a browser-based tool that converts raster (bitmap) images into SVG vector graphics. You use it when you have a pixel-based image—such as a PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, AVIF, or GIF—and want a scalable SVG version instead. It can output either color or monochrome vectors, so it fits both full-color artwork and simple single-color shapes like icons or logos.

What it does

SVGcode takes a bitmap image as input and traces it into vector paths, producing an SVG file as output. Because SVG is resolution-independent, the result can be scaled without the pixelation you get from enlarging a raster image.

Two output modes are available:

• Color — keeps the colors of the source image in the vector result.
• Monochrome — reduces the image to a single-color vector, useful for simple silhouettes, stamps, or one-color icons.

Supported formats

How to use it

1. Open the SVGcode web app in your browser.
2. Load your bitmap image (PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, AVIF, or GIF).
3. Choose whether you want color or monochrome vector output.
4. Convert and download the resulting SVG.

Everything runs in the browser, so there is no desktop install required.

When it's a good fit

• You have a logo, icon, or line drawing in a bitmap format and need a scalable version.
• You want a quick conversion without installing vector software.
• You need a single-color (monochrome) vector from a photo or scan.

What to keep in mind

• Vector tracing works best on images with clear shapes and limited colors. Photographs with fine gradients and lots of detail usually convert into many small paths, which can look imprecise and produce large files.
• The quality of the SVG depends heavily on the source image; a clean, high-contrast bitmap traces far better than a noisy or low-resolution one.
• For detailed photos, a raster format often remains the better choice.

For simple graphics and icons, SVGcode offers a fast, in-browser way to get from a bitmap to an editable, scalable SVG.
