About ImageToSVG.site
ImageToSVG.site is a free online image to SVG converter: drop in a PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP or AVIF and get back a clean, layered, genuinely scalable SVG without uploading anything, creating an account, or hitting a paywall.
Who we are
The site is designed and operated by Kynex Media, a small independent web studio focused on fast, privacy-respecting utility tools. The editor credit in the site footer shows the same: "designed & operated by Kynex Media". If you have ever paid a per-download fee to convert a single logo to SVG, or been told "split layers are a premium feature," this site is our answer to that.
What makes it different
- Nothing is uploaded. The entire conversion pipeline (palette detection, posterization, path tracing) runs in JavaScript inside your browser. Your files are never sent to a server, which also makes it fast and usable with confidential artwork.
- Layered, editable output. Every detected color becomes its own path layer in one SVG, and each layer can be downloaded as a separate SVG file, free where other converters charge for exactly that.
- A real palette engine. Median-cut quantization with halo cleanup, blend-cluster removal and label smoothing, feeding a Potrace-style curve fitter. The full pipeline is documented in our guide.
- No artificial limits. No signup, no credits, no watermark, no premium tier, no per-day quota.
How it stays free
Because there are no servers doing the work, there are almost no costs, so the site is supported only by clearly labeled advertising in designated slots, served via Google AdSense. We chose slot placements that never mask tool controls, never interrupt work in progress, and are visually separated from the tool's interface. The Privacy Policy explains exactly which cookies and analytics are involved.
Built on open foundations
The tracing engine is built on Potrace — Peter Selinger's
open-source vectorization algorithm, via its GPL JavaScript port. Because of that
lineage, js/potrace.js is licensed under the
GNU GPL v2 or later, with full provenance and
license text in that file. It is the same engine served to your browser and available
in the public repository, so nothing about the site's engine is hidden or locked up.
Everything else — the palette quantizer, the image effects pipeline, the merge and
knockout layer system and the interface itself — is original engineering, built and
tested by hand. Every core feature ships with automated browser tests so that "the
tool works" is a verified claim, not marketing.
Bug reports and feedback
Found an SVG that traces badly? A format that fails to load? A feature you wish existed? We genuinely want to hear it: the converter improves fastest from real-world files. Reach us at support@imagetosvg.site or via the contact page.
