Convert GIF files to SVG online

GIF's old-school 256-color palette makes it a surprisingly good vector source: flat color regions trace into crisp SVG paths. Drop a GIF below and its first frame is rebuilt as a layered, scalable vector — perfect for retro art, simple icons and pixel-style designs. Runs entirely in your browser.

How to convert GIF to SVG

  1. Load your GIF file. Drag it onto the drop zone, paste it from the clipboard, or click to browse — nothing is uploaded.
  2. Tune the vector. Set the color count and simplification; adjust gamma, contrast, hue and saturation to sharpen the trace.
  3. Check with the slider. Glide between the original GIF and the traced vector, zooming in to inspect edges.
  4. Download. Save the layered SVG, or grab each color layer separately for cutting and printing.

GIF to SVG — FAQ

Can animated GIFs be converted to SVG?

The converter traces the first frame. SVG itself supports animation differently (SMIL/CSS), so for full animations, convert frames individually and stack them as layers.

My GIF has dithering — will that create noisy paths?

Dithering adds in-between colors, which the palette cleaner detects and folds into the nearest dominant color before tracing, keeping the output tidy.

Do interlaced GIFs work?

Yes — the browser fully decodes the GIF before tracing, so interlacing, transparency and 256-color palettes are all handled.

Is GIF good source material for vectorizing?

For flat retro art and simple icons, yes — the small palette keeps regions clean. photographic GIFs trace as posterized art, like JPEG sources.

Converting a different format? We also handle PNG to SVG, JPG to SVG, WebP to SVG, GIF to SVG, BMP to SVG, AVIF to SVG and the main image to SVG converter — all free, all in-browser.
