Image to SVG converter
Convert science drawings, annotated figures, and technical images into editable SVG layers online. This standalone tool gives you a direct upload flow for AcaDraw-style science drawing workflows.
Drag, paste, or choose an image
Supports JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 10MB. The tool accepts one image at a time.
Automatically exported as SVG after processing, freely editable in PowerPoint and Adobe Illustrator.
Use this image to svg page when you want a focused upload flow instead of chat. You can drag, paste, or choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP image, then download an editable SVG for PowerPoint, Adobe Illustrator, or other vector workflows.

How It Works
Turn image to SVG in three steps
The standalone tool keeps the flow simple, while preserving the same backend conversion behavior as the chat experience.
Start with a single JPG, PNG, or WebP image. You can drag it in, choose a file manually, or paste directly from your clipboard.
Use text-only mode for fast editable text extraction, or full mode when you want broader element conversion into SVG layers.
After successful processing, the page downloads the SVG automatically so you can continue editing in your preferred vector workflow.
Modes & Credits
Same modes, same credit rules
The standalone image to svg page uses the exact same API, credit costs, and successful-charge behavior as the existing chat flow.
1 credit(s)
Text-only mode is the recommended starting point when your main goal is to recover labels, headings, or annotations as editable SVG text layers.
3 credit(s)
Full mode attempts broader element conversion and is better when you want a more complete editable SVG result from the uploaded image.
Credits are only consumed after a successful conversion, just like the chat interface.
SVG vs Raster
Why convert images to SVG?
SVG is the standard format for editable, resolution-independent graphics. Converting raster images (PNG, JPG, WebP) to SVG unlocks new possibilities for science drawings and technical illustrations.
Resolution-independent
SVG files scale to any size without losing quality. Unlike PNG or JPG, vector graphics stay sharp on retina displays, large posters, and printed papers.
Fully editable layers
Each element in an SVG — text, shapes, paths — can be selected and modified individually in tools like Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, or PowerPoint.
Smaller file sizes
For diagrams and illustrations, SVG files are often smaller than equivalent PNGs, especially at high resolutions. Faster to load and easier to share.
Searchable and accessible
Text inside SVG remains selectable and searchable. Screen readers can parse SVG labels, making your scientific figures more accessible.
| SVG | PNG / JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Scalability | Infinite, no quality loss | Pixelates when enlarged |
| Editability | Individual layers and text | Flat pixels only |
| File size (diagrams) | Typically smaller | Larger at high resolution |
| Text support | Selectable, searchable | Burned into pixels |
| Animation | CSS & SMIL supported | Not supported |
