GIF to SVG Converter
Give legacy GIF graphics and pixel art a second life as crisp, scalable vectors — converted privately in your browser.
Why Convert GIF to SVG?
Rescue legacy graphics
Old logos and clipart saved as GIF can be modernized into vectors that work at any size.
Clean, limited palette
GIFs are capped at 256 colors, which maps naturally onto SVG’s solid color regions and traces cleanly.
Upscale pixel art
Vectorizing lets you blow up small pixel-era graphics for prints and stickers without blur.
How to Convert GIF to SVG in 3 Steps
Upload your GIF
Drag and drop a GIF file, or click to browse. Files up to 5MB are supported.
Choose quality
Standard works well for GIF’s limited palette; High captures finer detail.
Download your SVG
Preview the traced vector and download the SVG file instantly — no watermark.
Pro tip for GIF conversions
GIFs are often tiny. The tracer can only work with the pixels present, so a 100px GIF will produce simplified shapes — if a larger version of the artwork exists anywhere, convert that instead.
GIF to SVG — Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert an animated GIF to SVG?
Only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted. To vectorize a specific frame, export that frame as a still image first, then convert it.
Does GIF transparency work in the converted SVG?
Yes. GIF’s on/off transparency is respected — transparent pixels are left untraced, so the SVG keeps a transparent background.
Why does my converted GIF look simplified or blocky?
Most GIFs are small and low-resolution, so the tracer has few pixels to work from. The result is faithful to the source; for smoother curves, start from a larger version of the artwork if one exists.
Can I keep hard pixel edges instead of smooth curves?
The tracer smooths edges into curves by design. For deliberate pixel-art style, choose the High quality preset to hug the pixel grid more closely, then fine-tune paths in a vector editor.
