JPG to SVG Converting Raster Photographs to Vector Graphics

Scalable Vector Graphics — Scalable Vector Graphics — is essentially distinct from JPG. Whereas JPG saves photos as a pixel grid, SVG saves graphics as geometric descriptions of geometric shapes. Which means SVG graphics can be displayed at every size — from a tiny icon to a billboard — without any loss of sharpness.

Transforming JPG to SVG is a technique known as image vectorization, and it is especially useful for logos and simple graphics.

When converting JPG to SVG, it is necessary to know how the process works. A JPG is a bitmap image — a static grid of pixels. 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 flat artwork. It does not work for photographic images with thousands of colors.

For quality conversion, Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace tool offers the most precision. Open your JPG in Illustrator, select the image, open the more info Image Trace settings and choose an suitable option.
