PNG to SVG Conversion Overview
qlot converts your PNG image to SVG for transparent-raster SVG workflows, carrying over dimensions, crop, colors, gradients, transparent areas, edges, shadows, and visible detail.
Transparent raster pixels is made of pixels rather than vector paths, so qlot places the raster image inside an SVG container without tracing it. Enlarging that SVG cannot create detail missing from the source, so sharpness still depends on the original pixel resolution.
Built for SVG-only workflows, browser graphics, design handoff, and fixed SVG containers when an SVG file is required without redrawing the image. The result uses an embedded raster image, so photos and screenshots do not become infinitely scalable vector artwork.
Same picture, new format
The visible PNG image is decoded and written into an SVG container for use in tools that expect that format.
Format features can change
Vector-style output cannot recreate detail that was stored only as raster pixels in the converted output file where the destination format allows it.
Choose for compatibility
Convert when a site, app or workflow accepts SVG but does not accept your current PNG image.
Single-image conversion
The conversion re-encodes one image rather than rebuilding pages, paragraphs, tables or other document structure.
Saved in My Files
Converted files remain available in My Files for 1 day on Preview and up to 30 days on Team.
No text extraction
Words visible inside the picture stay part of the image; converting to SVG does not turn them into editable text.

Contact sales01Will converting PNG to SVG make it vector?
No. Converting a raster image to SVG does not recreate the picture as editable vector paths. The SVG wraps or contains the existing pixels, so enlarging it beyond the original image detail cannot reveal new sharpness that was not present in the source.
02Can I edit the PNG-based SVG like a vector logo?
No. The file may open in vector software because its container is SVG, but the embedded image content is still raster. You can position or resize that image, yet individual shapes, letters, and edges are not automatically turned into separate editable paths.
03Why does my PNG-to-SVG file still look pixelated?
Because the source PNG is made of pixels and the conversion does not trace those pixels into vector geometry. The SVG can scale its canvas, but the embedded image detail stays limited by the original resolution. True vectorization requires a tracing or redrawing step.
04Why convert PNG to SVG at all?
Use this route when a system specifically requires an SVG container, not when you need true vector artwork. It changes the file format so SVG-compatible workflows can accept the image, while keeping the original raster picture inside rather than inventing vector paths.
05What happens to PNG transparency in SVG?
Transparent PNG areas can remain transparent when the raster image is placed inside the SVG container. The conversion does not turn those pixels into vector paths, so transparency is preserved as an image property rather than rebuilt as editable vector shapes.
