PNG to SVG

A PNG is a grid of coloured pixels. Tracing finds areas of the same colour, follows their edges and describes them as vector paths (lines and curves). The SVG is a set of filled shapes, which is why it scales without blur.

"Logo / drawing" reduces the image to a few flat colours and gives clean, smooth edges, ideal for logos, icons, signatures and line art. "Photo" keeps more colours and detail, but makes a much larger, more complex file.

You can, but be realistic: the result looks like posterised art, built from flat patches of colour, not like the original photo. For a photo that simply needs to be bigger or smaller, a pixel format such as PNG or JPG is the better fit.

Fully see-through areas are left empty, so the traced logo still sits cleanly on any background. Soft shadows or glows that fade out may turn into a solid outline, because tracing works with flat colours.

Start from the largest, sharpest PNG you have, with strong contrast and a plain background. Tiny icons (under about 100 px) have too few pixels to trace smooth curves, so use a bigger version if you can find one.

Yes. Open it in Inkscape, Illustrator, Figma or Affinity Designer and every traced shape is a separate path you can recolour, move or delete. Text in the image becomes shapes too, not editable type.
