AVIF to SVG Converter

To turn an AVIF into an SVG, add the image, choose 2 colors with a threshold or up to 8 colors, and press Convert. The shapes in the image are traced and redrawn as vector outlines; this is an approximation that suits logos and flat illustrations, not photos. The AVIF is uploaded to our servers over a secure connection, traced there and deleted within 30 minutes at the latest.

Tracing settings. This is tracing, not a true vector conversion: the picture is redrawn as outlines. It works well for logos, icons and simple line art, and poorly for photographs. Transparent areas are filled with white before tracing.JPG files are usually photographs, and photographs trace badly: expect a rough, posterized result. A logo or a flat graphic gives the best outcome.

2 colors gives a black-and-white drawing. More colors create layered shapes in several colors and a larger file.

Decides which pixels count as black. Lower values keep only the darkest areas; higher values make the drawing heavier. It only applies to 2 colors.

The image is traced at up to 2048 pixels on its longest side; the SVG itself scales without losing sharpness.

How to convert AVIF to SVG

  1. Add your AVIF image

    Drag a logo, icon or drawing onto the upload area. Clear contrast and few colors trace best.

  2. Choose the colors and the threshold

    2 colors gives a black-and-white drawing whose threshold you can adjust; up to 8 colors creates layered shapes.

  3. Trace and download

    Press “Convert”. The image is uploaded to our servers, traced and deleted within 30 minutes at the latest; download the SVG when it is ready.

What is preserved?

Kept

  • The overall shape, proportions and layout of the picture
  • Sharp edges at any size: the SVG scales without turning into pixels

Changed

  • The picture is redrawn as filled outlines, so fine detail, texture and gradients are simplified
  • With 2 colors the result is black and white; with more colors (up to 8) each color becomes its own layer and the colors are approximated
  • Transparent areas are filled with white before tracing

Not carried over

  • Photographic detail, smooth gradients and soft shadows
  • EXIF, location and camera data

When to use it

Vectorize an icon exported as AVIF

If a simple icon or emblem only exists as an AVIF, tracing produces an SVG you can scale for print, embroidery or a high-resolution display.

Create a single-color silhouette

With 2 colors and a suitable threshold, a bold AVIF graphic becomes a clean black shape for stamps, stickers or laser engraving.

Limitations to know

  • This is tracing, not a true conversion to vector: the SVG is an approximation of the picture, not the original drawing.
  • AVIF files are usually photographs, and photographs trace badly; expect a rough, posterized result.
  • The picture is traced at up to 2048 pixels on its longest side. The file is uploaded to our servers, which accept up to 50 MB and about 100 megapixels per file.

About the formats

What is AVIF?

AVIF is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec. It delivers very small files at high visual quality, supports transparency, HDR and animation, and is among the most efficient formats for the web. Encoding is slower than for other formats, and some older software cannot open AVIF yet.

What is SVG?

SVG describes an image with shapes, paths and text in XML instead of pixels, so it stays sharp at any size. It is ideal for logos, icons and illustrations. When a program or website needs a pixel image, an SVG is rendered into a raster format such as PNG at a chosen size.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my traced AVIF photo look like a poster?

Tracing groups similar colors into flat areas with outlines. A photograph has countless subtle shades, so it ends up as a few blocky color regions; this method is meant for graphics.

Are transparent parts of the AVIF kept?

No. Transparency is flattened onto white before tracing, so the SVG shows the shapes on a white background.

Can I edit the traced SVG afterwards?

Yes. Open it in any vector editor to recolor, delete or smooth the shapes; simplifying the paths there often makes the file smaller and cleaner.

Is converting AVIF to SVG free?

Yes, completely free. There is no account, subscription or watermark; just add your files and convert them.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

Yes. This conversion runs on our servers, so your file is uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, converted there and permanently deleted within 30 minutes at the latest. It is stored under a random code instead of its name, and processing is fully automated. EXIF and location data are not added to the output.
