Are my BMP files uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion runs inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API and JavaScript. Your BMP file never leaves your device.

Is the output a true vector SVG?

Yes — the output contains real SVG path elements generated by tracing the pixel data. It is not a base64-embedded raster image. The SVG scales cleanly at any size.

What does the threshold slider do?

The threshold controls which pixels are treated as foreground (dark, drawn in the SVG) versus background (transparent). Raising the threshold captures more pixels as foreground; lowering it captures fewer.

Why is my output SVG large?

Photographs or complex images produce many small rect elements — one per pixel run — which results in large SVG files. This tool works best on simple graphics, logos, icons, and line art. For photos, consider a JPEG or PNG format instead.

Can I change the SVG foreground color?

Yes. Use the color picker to choose any foreground fill color before downloading.

Is there a file size limit?

The practical limit is your browser's available memory. Very large BMP images (above 10 MP) may be slow to process on low-end devices.

Summary

Upload a BMP image and download a traced SVG vector file — converted entirely in your browser with no file upload.

How it works

Select or drag a BMP file onto the upload area.
The browser decodes the BMP via an HTML5 Canvas element.
A brightness threshold converts each pixel to foreground or background.
The tracer groups consecutive foreground pixels into horizontal SVG rect spans.
A live SVG preview renders immediately in the panel on the right.
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.
