JPG to SVG Converting Raster Images to Vector Graphics

Wiki Article

SVG — vector graphics — is completely separate from JPG. Whereas JPG encodes pictures as a pixel grid, SVG encodes images as mathematical descriptions of shapes, lines and colors. This means SVG images work at any size — from a small icon to a billboard — without loss of sharpness.

Changing JPG to SVG is a technique called raster to vector conversion, and it is especially useful for illustrations and clean graphics.

When converting JPG to SVG, it is essential to realize how the process works. JPG files are a bitmap image — a fixed grid of image pixels. An SVG is a scalable image — a collection of paths that applications uses to draw the artwork.

The conversion works great for simple images with distinct shapes and limited colors — icons, logos, symbols and flat artwork. It does not work for detailed photographs with thousands of colors.

For quality conversion, Illustrator's Image Trace function provides the most control. Open your JPG in Illustrator, highlight the graphic, access the Image Trace settings and choose an appropriate website preset.
