    SVG

    Scalable Vector Graphics

    SVG is a vector format that describes shapes as mathematical paths instead of pixels. It stays sharp at any size, which makes it ideal for logos, icons and illustrations.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is converting GIF to SVG free?

    Yes, completely free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark and no queue.

    Are animated images converted too?

    Only the first frame is converted to SVG. To keep the animation, convert to MP4 or WEBM.

    Does it work on a phone?

    Yes. It works on iPhone, iPad and Android, with no app to install.

    Is there a file size limit?

    There is no size limit set by us. Files of hundreds of MB convert too; very large files take longer and are handled more comfortably on a computer than on a phone.
