JPG to SVG Changing Raster Images to Vector Graphics

Wiki Article

SVG — vector graphics — is essentially separate from JPG. JPG saves pictures as a pixel grid, SVG saves illustrations as mathematical definitions of geometric shapes. Meaning SVG files can be displayed at all sizes — from a tiny icon to a massive print — with no loss of sharpness.

Changing JPG to SVG is a process known as vectorization, and it is very beneficial for icons and simple graphics.

When converting JPG to SVG, it is essential to understand how the process works. JPG files are a bitmap image — a fixed grid of pixels. An SVG is a mathematical image — a series of geometric shapes that a browser uses to draw the image.

The conversion works great for clean images with clear shapes and limited colors — logos, icons, silhouettes and illustrations. It works less well for photographic images with fine detail.

For quality conversion, Illustrator's Image Trace function offers the most flexibility. Open your JPG in Illustrator, select the image, access the Image Trace settings and choose an appropriate preset.
