PNG to SVG Converter
Embed a PNG image inside a scalable SVG container directly in your browser — useful for web embedding, not vectorization.
PNG to SVG processes files locally in your browser.
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
- Choose a PNG file.
- Select Convert & download.
- 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.
