JPG to SVG Changing Raster Images to Vector Graphics

Scalable Vector Graphics — Scalable Vector Graphics — is essentially distinct from JPG. Whereas JPG encodes pictures as a raster of pixels, SVG saves illustrations as mathematical definitions of shapes, lines and colors. This means SVG files work at all sizes — from a small icon to a large banner — with no quality loss.

Converting JPG to SVG is a process referred to as raster to vector conversion, and it is very beneficial for illustrations and clean graphics.

Prior to converting JPG to SVG, it is important to understand here what the conversion actually does. JPG files are a pixel-based image — a static grid of pixels. SVG files are a mathematical image — a collection of paths that a browser uses to draw the artwork.

The conversion works great for simple images with distinct shapes and few colors — logos, icons, silhouettes and flat artwork. Results are poor for complex photos with thousands of colors.

For quality conversion, Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace tool offers the most control. Load the image in Illustrator, select the graphic, open the Image Trace dialog and choose an relevant setting.
