JPG to SVG Converting Raster Images to Vector Graphics

SVG — the SVG format — is essentially different from JPG. JPG saves images as a raster of pixels, SVG saves illustrations as mathematical definitions of paths and colors. This means SVG graphics scale to every size — from a small icon to a large banner — without loss of sharpness.

Transforming JPG to SVG is a process known as vectorization, and it is especially useful for illustrations and simple graphics.

Prior to converting JPG to SVG, it is necessary to understand how the process works. JPG files are a raster image — a fixed grid of dots. SVG files are a vector image — a collection of paths that website applications displays as the image.

This works extremely well for clean images with defined shapes and minimal colors — icons, logos, symbols and flat artwork. It works less well for photographic images with complex gradients.

For best output, Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace function offers the most flexibility. Open your JPG in Illustrator, click the image, open the Image Trace panel and choose an appropriate preset.
