JPG to SVG Converting Raster Visuals to Vector Graphics

SVG — Scalable Vector Graphics — is essentially separate from JPG. JPG encodes pictures as a raster of pixels, SVG stores graphics as mathematical descriptions of paths and colors. Meaning SVG images scale to every size — from a 16x16 pixel favicon to a massive print — without pixelation.

Transforming JPG to SVG is a technique known as image vectorization, and it is especially useful for logos and simple graphics.

Before converting JPG to SVG, it is necessary to know how the process works. A JPG is a raster image — a static grid of pixels. SVG files are a scalable image — a series of geometric shapes which software displays as the graphic.

This works extremely well for simple images with defined shapes and few colors — logos, icons, silhouettes and line art. It works less well for detailed photographs with fine detail.

For best output, Illustrator's Image Trace function provides the most flexibility. Open your JPG in Illustrator, select the check here graphic, access the Image Trace dialog and choose an appropriate preset.
