JPG to SVG Changing Raster Pictures to Vector Graphics

Scalable Vector Graphics — Scalable Vector Graphics — is essentially distinct from JPG. Whereas JPG saves photos as a raster of pixels, SVG encodes illustrations as mathematical definitions of shapes, lines and colors. This means SVG images scale to all sizes — from a small icon to a massive print — without quality loss.

Changing JPG to SVG is a operation called vectorization, and it is particularly valuable for illustrations and flat artwork.

When converting JPG to SVG, it is essential to understand what the conversion actually does. JPG files are a bitmap image — a static grid of pixels. SVG files are a scalable image — a series of geometric shapes which software uses to draw the artwork.

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

For quality conversion, Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace feature gives the most control. Load the jpg to svg logo converter image in Illustrator, click the graphic, open the Image Trace dialog and select an appropriate preset.
