About GIF To SVG Converter Online

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) uses lossless LZW compression for a palette of up to 256 colors. It is the classic format for simple animations and graphics with flat colors. For photographic content, its 256-color palette causes visible banding.

Converting raster images to SVG traces the pixel content and produces a scalable vector version. Best results come from simple graphics, logos, and line art. Complex photographs will produce large SVG files with limited visual improvement.

This tool converts your GIF images to SVG directly in the browser. Upload your file, choose a quality preset if available, and download the converted result instantly.

How to use this tool

How to convert GIF to SVG

  1. Upload your GIF file

    Click the upload area or drag a GIF image. Files are processed locally.

  2. Convert

    Press Convert. The raster image is embedded inside an SVG wrapper as a base64 data URI — it does not become a vector drawing. The output is an SVG file that contains your original raster at its native resolution.

  3. Download the SVG

    Click Download to save the .svg file. The file can be opened in browsers and SVG-aware tools, but it will not scale without pixelation since the underlying image is still raster.

  4. Understand the limitation

    Raster-to-SVG conversion here wraps pixels in an SVG container; it does not trace or vectorise the image. For true vector output from a raster, use a dedicated auto-trace tool such as Inkscape's Trace Bitmap or a vectorisation service.
