JPG to SVG Changing Raster Photos to Vector Graphics

Scalable Vector Graphics — the SVG format — is completely separate from JPG. JPG encodes pictures as a raster of pixels, SVG encodes illustrations as mathematical descriptions of shapes, lines and colors. This means SVG images scale to any size — from a 16x16 pixel favicon to a massive print — without pixelation.

Changing JPG to SVG is a operation known as vectorization, and it is particularly valuable for logos and flat artwork.

When converting JPG to SVG, it is essential to know how the process works. A JPG is a bitmap image — a static grid of dots. An SVG is a scalable image — a series of geometric shapes which software uses to draw the artwork.

Results are excellent for clean images with clear shapes and minimal colors — logos, icons, silhouettes and illustrations. It does not work for complex photos with complex gradients.

For quality conversion, Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace feature offers the most control. Load the here image in Illustrator, select the graphic, open the Image Trace dialog and select an relevant setting.
