JPG to SVG Converting Raster Images to Vector Graphics

Wiki Article

SVG — Scalable Vector Graphics — is completely distinct from JPG. JPG stores photos as a grid of pixels, SVG saves illustrations as geometric descriptions of shapes, lines and colors. Meaning SVG graphics scale to any size — from a tiny icon to a massive print — without any quality loss.

Transforming JPG to SVG is a technique called image vectorization, and it is very beneficial for logos and simple graphics.

Prior to converting JPG to SVG, it is necessary to realize what the conversion actually does. A JPG is a pixel-based image — a static grid of dots. SVG files are a scalable image — a set of mathematical instructions that a browser renders as the graphic.

The conversion works great for clean images with defined shapes and few colors — logos, icons, silhouettes and line art. Results are poor for complex photos with fine detail.

For best output, Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace feature provides the most control. Load the image in Illustrator, highlight the graphic, open the Image Trace panel and choose an more info relevant setting.
