JPG to SVG Converting Raster Pictures to Vector Graphics

SVG — Scalable Vector Graphics — is essentially separate from JPG. Whereas JPG stores photos as a raster of pixels, SVG saves images as geometric descriptions of paths and colors. Meaning SVG files scale to every size — from a tiny icon to a large banner — with no pixelation.

Changing JPG to SVG is a process referred to as raster to vector conversion, and it is especially useful for logos and clean graphics.

Before converting JPG to SVG, it is necessary to understand what happens. A JPG is a raster image — a static grid of dots. SVG files are a mathematical image — a collection of paths which software uses to draw the artwork.

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

For quality conversion, Illustrator's Image Trace feature gives the most control. Load the image in Illustrator, click the image, access the Image Trace panel and select an appropriate preset.
