SVG maker
Turn a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC into an SVG made of curves, so it stays sharp when enlarged.

Details
Drop a picture and download an SVG made of curves. The file has no photo inside it, so it stays sharp when you zoom, the way a drawn illustration does. Illustration mode follows the color shapes and keeps small marks. Photo mode drops fine speckle before tracing. A photograph will not become a hand-drawn picture. The trace looks at a copy no larger than 2000 pixels on the long side so the page can finish.

Limits
The result is drawing paths, not a picture pasted into an SVG. Flat art traces cleanly. A photo becomes many shapes and will not look like a hand-drawn illustration. The trace uses at most 2000 pixels on the long side.

Steps
1. Drop the image.
2. Pick Illustration, Photo, or Black and white.
3. Make the SVG, check the preview, then download it.

Questions
Is this a real vector?
Yes. The file is filled with path curves. There is no embedded photo, so zooming does not turn it into blocks.

Will a photo look like a drawing?
No. The tracer follows color regions. A photograph becomes a stack of shapes, not a picture someone drew.

Nothing is uploaded. Closing the tab drops the file.
The trace runs in this tab. The image is not uploaded.
