Sketchy converts PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF and BMP to clean SVG vectors — entirely inside your browser. Your files never leave your device.

Sketchy gives you four sliders and a mode switch. Here is exactly what each one controls and when to adjust it.
How many colours appear in the output. 2–6 for flat logos and icons, 12–32 for illustrations with more depth. More colours = larger file.
Controls edge sensitivity and region granularity. Lower values ignore subtle variations and produce cleaner, more graphic results. In Line Art mode, lower = fewer edges detected.
Filters out regions smaller than this size in pixels. Removes stray pixels, antialiasing artefacts, and JPEG noise from the output.
Blurs the image before conversion to reduce noise and compression artefacts. Higher values = cleaner region edges, less fine detail.
Quantises the image into a colour palette and fills each region with a flat colour. Best for logos, icons, illustrations, and any image with distinct colour areas. Produces compact SVG files with grouped colour layers. Adjust Colors and Min Region for the best balance of fidelity and cleanliness.
Runs Canny-style edge detection on the image and traces the result as black strokes on a white background. Best for hand-drawn sketches, pencil drawings, diagrams, and outlines. The Detail slider controls edge threshold — lower values catch more edges including faint ones. Smoothing reduces noise before detection.
No subscriptions, no sign-ups, no file size limits. Just fast, clean SVG output that scales infinitely.
Your images are processed entirely inside your browser. Nothing is ever sent to a server — not even a single pixel. You can disconnect from the internet and it still works.
Conversion runs in a dedicated background thread so the page stays responsive. Progress updates in real time and you can cancel at any point without freezing your browser.
SVG files scale to any resolution — from 16px favicon to billboard — without pixelation. Perfect for logos, icons, illustrations, print, and web graphics.
Upload PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF, or BMP. Sketchy reads them all natively through the browser's built-in image decoders and converts to clean SVG every time.
Four independent parameters give you precise control over colour depth, detail level, region filtering, and noise reduction — for output that matches your exact needs.
Output is standard SVG 1.1 XML — no proprietary encoding, no embedded rasters. Copy the code directly, embed it in HTML, or open it in any vector editor.
From logo designers to developers to content creators — anyone working with images on the web benefits from scalable vector output.
Convert scanned hand-drawn sketches or low-res logos into clean SVG vectors ready to scale to any size for print or digital use.
Replace heavy PNG assets with lightweight inline SVGs that render crisply on retina displays and improve Core Web Vitals scores.
Turn any reference image into an icon-friendly SVG. Reduce colour count to get clean, flat single-pass vector icons for iOS, Android, or PWAs.
Prepare artwork for sublimation printing, vinyl cutting, or screen printing. SVG files scale to any size without quality loss.
Use Line Art mode to extract crisp outlines from photographs or scanned drawings. Import the SVG into Inkscape or Illustrator for further work.
Working with confidential documents or proprietary artwork? Sketchy never uploads anything — convert with complete peace of mind.
