Question 1

What does converting JPG to vector mean?

Accepted Answer

Converting a JPG to vector (SVG) means tracing the raster pixel image and converting it into scalable vector paths. The result is an SVG file that can be scaled to any size without pixelation — ideal for logos, icons, and simple illustrations.

Question 2

What types of JPG images convert best to vector?

Accepted Answer

Simple, high-contrast images work best: logos with solid colors, icons, silhouettes, simple illustrations, text-based graphics, and clip art. Complex photographs produce very detailed SVG files that are often impractical.

Question 3

How do I convert JPG to SVG in Illustrator?

Accepted Answer

In Illustrator, place your JPG, select it, then go to Object > Image Trace > Make and Expand. Use preset options to control trace quality. Our free online tool provides similar functionality without needing an Illustrator subscription.

Question 4

Is the converted SVG file editable?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the output SVG contains vector paths editable in Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape (free), Affinity Designer, or even a text editor. You can change colors, adjust paths, resize to any dimension.

Question 5

What is the difference between SVG and JPG?

Accepted Answer

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) describes shapes mathematically and scales to any size without quality loss. JPG stores pixel data at a fixed resolution. SVG is perfect for logos and icons; JPG is better for photographs.
