JPG to SVG in 3 steps

  1. Choose the JPG: a scanned signature, a sketch, a photographed logo.
  2. Pick "Logo / drawing" for line art and flat colours, or "Photo" for a colourful poster look.
  3. Press "Convert to SVG" and download the traced vector.

Why ConvertKoala?

  • Rescue JPG-only logos

    Lost the original design file? Trace the JPG from your website or invoice into a vector you can print at any size.

  • Signatures and sketches

    Scan or photograph ink on paper and get clean, scalable lines for documents, stamps or cutting machines.

  • Honest about photos

    Photo mode turns pictures into posterised art. We say so up front, so you know what to expect.

  • Scans stay on your device

    Your signature is personal. It is traced inside your browser and never uploaded or stored.

Frequently asked questions

What does converting JPG to SVG actually do?

It traces the picture: areas of similar colour are grouped and their outlines are described as vector paths. The SVG contains shapes, not pixels, so it can be enlarged endlessly without blur.

Why are the edges a little rough?

JPG compression leaves faint blocks and halos around sharp edges, and tracing follows them. Higher-quality, larger JPGs give smoother outlines. If you also have the image as a PNG, PNG to SVG usually traces cleaner.

How do I vectorize a signature or a drawing?

Sign with a dark pen on plain white paper, scan or photograph it in good, even light, and crop away everything else. Use "Logo / drawing" mode. Shadows and grey paper texture are what make tracing messy.

Can I turn a photo into an SVG?

Yes, with "Photo" mode, but it becomes posterised art made of flat colour patches, not a photographic image. It suits posters and stylised effects; for an ordinary photo, keep it as a JPG.

Will the white background be traced too?

Yes. A JPG has no transparency, so the paper or white background becomes a shape of its own. Delete that shape in Inkscape, Illustrator or Figma if you need the design on its own.

Can I use the SVG for a cutting machine or laser?

Often, yes: Cricut, Silhouette and most laser software import SVG. Use "Logo / drawing" mode for fewer, cleaner shapes, and check the paths in the machine’s software before cutting.
