Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion runs inside your browser using the FileReader API. Your image never leaves your device.

Is this true vector conversion?

No. The tool wraps the original JPEG inside an SVG container using a base64-encoded element. The image data remains raster. True vectorization (tracing paths from pixels) requires a separate tool.

Why is the SVG file larger than the original JPG?

Base64 encoding increases the data size by approximately 33%. The SVG file will be roughly 1.33× the size of the original JPEG.

Can I edit the SVG in Illustrator or Inkscape?

Yes. The output is a valid SVG file. Vector editors will open it and display the embedded image, though you cannot edit the raster pixels inside the editor.

What JPEG variants are supported?

Standard .jpg and .jpeg files are both supported. Progressive and baseline JPEGs are handled by the browser's built-in decoder.

Is there a file size limit?

The practical limit is your browser's available memory. Files over 20 MB may be slow to process on low-end devices due to the base64 encoding step.

Summary

This tool converts JPG and JPEG images to SVG format entirely inside your browser. It reads the image file, encodes it as a base64 data URI, and wraps it inside an SVG document that preserves the original pixel dimensions. No files are ever sent to a server — everything stays private on your device. The resulting SVG can be used anywhere an SVG file is accepted and will render identically to the original JPEG.

How it works

Select or drag a JPG or JPEG image onto the upload area.
The browser reads the file and encodes it as a base64 data URI.
An SVG document is generated with an <image> element sized to the original pixel dimensions.
A live preview of the SVG output appears instantly.
Click "Download SVG" to save the file to your device.

Use cases

Embed a raster photo inside an SVG for use in vector design tools.
Wrap product images in an SVG container for platforms and workflows requiring SVG file formats.
Prepare JPG assets for SVG-based slide decks or presentations.
Wrap a JPEG logo in SVG format for compatibility with SVG-only workflows.
Bundle an image into a single self-contained SVG file for portability.
Convert screenshots to SVG for embedding in documentation or wikis.
Create an SVG envelope around a photo for use in CSS or HTML that targets SVG files.
Process images privately without uploading to any third-party service.
