Click the upload area or drag your BMP files onto it: up to 10 files at once, 50 MB each.
Each image is made grayscale, and everything darker than mid-gray is traced into smooth black filled paths. Light areas are left out. This takes a few seconds per file.
Download each SVG file, or all of them as one ZIP.
The dark parts of your BMP become smooth black filled paths, ready to recolor or print.
The result is outlines, not pixels, so it stays sharp when you scale it up for print or cutting.
Works in web browsers, Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, Figma and cutting-machine software such as Cricut Design Space.
No account and no watermark. Up to 10 files at once, 50 MB each. Uploaded and converted files are deleted automatically within 2 hours.
A one-color logo or icon in BMP becomes clean SVG black filled paths. Multi-color logos come out as a single silhouette: every color darker than mid-gray is traced the same way.
Scanned signatures, ink drawings and pencil sketches with strong lines trace well. The paper disappears because it is lighter than mid-gray, leaving only the lines.
Icons and logos for websites, cutting-machine designs, and laser engraving software that reads SVG.
BMP stores a grid of colored pixels. The SVG you get here holds black filled paths (one per shape) in a standard SVG file: the outline of the image's dark areas, traced from pixels into smooth curves.
| Aspect | BMP | SVG |
|---|---|---|
| Color | Every color and shade of gray | One color: dark areas become black shapes |
| What is kept | Every pixel | Areas darker than mid-gray; lighter areas are dropped |
| Enlarging | Blurs or pixelates when scaled up | Outlines stay sharp when scaled up |
| Fine detail | Kept exactly | Curves smoothed; specks of a pixel or two dropped |
| Opens in | Every device and browser | web browsers, Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, Figma and cutting-machine software such as Cricut Design Space |
| Best for | Photos and multi-color images | Logos, line art, signatures and cut files |
Convert BMP to SVG when the image is a logo, icon, signature or drawing with clear dark shapes on a light background. For photos or multi-color artwork, keep the BMP: the trace would reduce it to a one-color silhouette.
This converter traces your BMP into black filled paths (one per shape) in a standard SVG file. It is built for simple, high-contrast images: logos, icons, signatures, stamps, line drawings and shapes you want to cut with a laser or vinyl cutter. Knowing what the trace keeps helps you get a clean result the first time.
The image is turned into grayscale, and every area darker than mid-gray is traced into black filled paths; everything lighter is treated as background and left out. Colors are not kept: a dark red circle and a dark blue square come out exactly the same, while yellow, pale pink or light gray parts disappear completely. Curves are smoothed, and tiny specks (a pixel or two) are removed as noise. If your download is empty, the image had no areas darker than mid-gray.
BMP files are uncompressed and often large, which is fine: only the dark shapes end up in the vector file, which is usually far smaller. Your BMP is converted to JPG before tracing, which adds slight noise along edges; on clear dark-on-light artwork the mid-gray threshold hides almost all of it. For the best outline, use dark shapes on a plain light background, at least a few hundred pixels across. Darken light-colored parts before uploading if you want them traced, and remove backgrounds that are gray or patterned.
The file opens in web browsers, Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, Figma and cutting-machine software such as Cricut Design Space. Change the fill color in any SVG editor. On a web page, place the SVG inline in the HTML to recolor it with a CSS fill rule. SVG opens directly in a web browser, so you can check the result right after downloading by opening the file in a new tab.
For a logo, signature or drawing with clear dark lines, the SVG is a sharp, scalable outline you can recolor, print or cut. For photos and multi-color artwork, a trace is not the right tool: keep the original BMP, or have the artwork redrawn by hand in a vector editor.
