Why is my traced JPG full of tiny dots?

Those are compression artefacts traced as separate shapes. Raise Remove specks and lower Colours until they disappear.

Can I recover the exact original vector logo?

Not exactly, but a clean trace is often close enough to reuse. For a brand logo, tidy the curves in a vector editor afterwards.

How does image to SVG conversion work?

The image is reduced to a limited colour palette, the edges of each colour area are traced, and smooth curves are fitted to them. The result is an editable SVG made of vector paths.

Is the result a smooth vector?

Yes, edges become smooth curves. It works best on logos, icons and illustrations with flat colours. Photos turn into stylised, posterised artwork because a vector cannot hold every shade, so use more colours for photos.

Yes. Edit the code in the editor and the preview updates, or open the downloaded file in Figma, Illustrator or Inkscape.

How do I get a smaller file?

Lower the colour count and trace size, and raise speck removal. Fewer colours and shapes give much smaller SVGs.

About JPG to SVG

When to use it

A JPG logo or scan can be turned into editable shapes when you no longer have the original vector file.

What to know

JPG compression noise creates extra speckles of colour, so use fewer colours and raise speck removal.

Pro tip

If the result is noisy, try the Logo preset or clean up the image first.

Tracing a JPG logo or scan into SVG

JPG is the format most old logos, scans and photographed sketches end up in, often because the original vector file was lost. Tracing turns it back into editable shapes. The catch is JPG compression: the faint noise around edges looks like extra colours to the tracer and becomes speckles in the SVG.

Three settings handle that. Keep Colours low so similar noisy shades merge into one. Raise Remove specks so tiny islands of colour are dropped. Increase Smoothness so jagged, noisy outlines turn into clean curves. If the JPG is small, upscale it 2x first, because a bigger source gives the tracer more pixels to follow.

For a photographed drawing on paper, crop it tightly and boost the contrast in any photo app before tracing. Uneven lighting otherwise shows up as grey patches.
