BMP to SVG Converter

Summary

This tool converts BMP images into SVG vector files entirely inside your browser. It reads the BMP pixel data through the HTML5 Canvas API, applies a threshold to separate foreground from background, then traces the binary bitmap into compact SVG rectangle runs. The result is a lightweight SVG that scales without pixelation. No files are ever sent to a server — everything stays private on your device.

How it works

1. Select or drag a BMP file onto the upload area.
2. The browser decodes the BMP via an HTML5 Canvas element.
3. A brightness threshold converts each pixel to foreground or background.
4. The tracer groups consecutive foreground pixels into horizontal SVG rect spans.
5. A live SVG preview renders immediately in the panel on the right.
6. Adjust the threshold or color settings, then click Download SVG.

Use cases

• Convert scanned BMP logos or icons into scalable SVG assets.
• Prepare BMP clip art for use in design tools that require SVG input.
• Turn black-and-white BMP diagrams into resolution-independent SVG files.
• Archive BMP images in a vector format for long-term compatibility.
• Generate SVG assets from BMP screenshots for web or print use.
• Process BMP images privately without uploading to any third-party service.
• Create SVG stencils or silhouettes from BMP photographs.
• Convert BMP stamps or watermarks to scalable SVG overlays.
