Is this a true vector trace, or a stylized effect?

It's a mosaic-style stylized effect rather than an attempt at a precise photographic vector trace — the result has a distinct geometric look, not a faithful vector reproduction of the photo.

Can I control the level of detail in the mosaic?

Yes, adjusting the settings controls how many shapes/tiles make up the final image, trading off detail against a more abstracted look.

Will the output file scale without quality loss, like a real SVG?

Yes, since the output is genuine SVG, it scales to any size without pixelation, even though the visual style is intentionally mosaic-like rather than photorealistic.

Does Image Vectorizer upload my files to a server?

No. Image Vectorizer runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

A regular photo is made of pixels that lose quality when scaled up significantly, while vector graphics (SVG) stay crisp at any size — converting a photo toward a vector-style representation is one way to get a scalable version, albeit as a stylized mosaic rather than a true photographic vector trace. This tool converts a photo into a scalable mosaic-style SVG, giving you a vector file that stays sharp at any size, with a distinct stylized look rather than attempting to preserve photographic detail.
