What PNG to SVG conversion does

Embed a PNG image inside a scalable SVG container directly in your browser. This does not vectorize the picture — it wraps the same raster pixels in an SVG wrapper for workflows that specifically need a .svg file.

How to convert PNG to SVG

1. Choose a PNG file.
2. Select Convert & download.
3. Save the .svg file from your browser downloads.

Why use this conversion

Some web embedding or document workflows specifically expect a .svg file, even for a raster image, so it can sit alongside other SVG assets or be styled by SVG-aware tooling.

Transparency and output quality

The embedded PNG data keeps its original alpha channel. The PNG is embedded as base64 text, which adds roughly 33% overhead compared to the raw PNG bytes, plus a small amount of SVG markup — the SVG file is larger than the source PNG.

Privacy and local processing

• Processing occurs locally in the browser.
• Files are not uploaded to Looty Tools for conversion.
• Converted files remain on your device.

Limits and known issues

• Input: PNG (.png) only, up to 25.0 MB and 8,192 px per side.
• This does not vectorize the image. Enlarging the SVG does not add any new detail; the raster content stays exactly as sharp (or blurry) as the source.
• Metadata is not preserved in the downloaded file.

PNG to SVG FAQ

Does this vectorize my PNG?

No. This embeds the PNG’s pixels inside an SVG container as a base64 image — it does not trace or vectorize the picture. Enlarging the SVG does not add any new detail; the raster content is unchanged.

Why would I want a PNG wrapped in SVG?

Some web embedding or document workflows specifically expect a .svg file, even for a raster image, so it can sit alongside other SVG assets or be styled by SVG-aware tooling.

Does SVG output keep transparency?

Yes. The embedded PNG data keeps its original alpha channel.

Why is the SVG file larger than the source PNG?

The PNG is embedded as base64 text, which adds roughly 33% overhead compared to the raw PNG bytes, plus a small amount of SVG markup.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Conversion runs locally in your browser and does not upload your file to Looty Tools servers.
