Export Digital Art for Vectorization

Export your digital art from its native format to PNG with a white or transparent background. Avoid JPEG — compression artifacts trace as unwanted noise paths in the SVG.

  • Procreate: Share > PNG
  • Photoshop: File > Export > PNG-24 with Transparency
  • Clip Studio: File > Export > PNG
  • Avoid JPEG — compression creates tracing noise

Vectorizing Illustration vs Photo-Realistic Art

Flat, cel-shaded digital art vectorizes cleanly into multi-color SVG. Photo-realistic digital paintings with gradients produce complex, large SVG files. The best approach for paintings is to use a simplified or stylized version of the art.

  • Flat/cel-shaded: vectorizes into clean layered SVG
  • Photo-realistic: very complex SVG output — consider line art style instead
  • Reduce colors to 4–8 for cleaner vector output
  • Linework-only layers trace especially cleanly

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I vectorize Procreate artwork?

Yes — export from Procreate as PNG, then upload to imagetosvg.com. Flat illustrations vectorize best; detailed paintings get complex.

Does Procreate have an SVG export option?

No native SVG export in Procreate. Export as PNG and vectorize with imagetosvg.com, or open the PNG in Inkscape to trace.

Why does my digital art SVG look wrong after vectorizing?

Complex gradients and textures don't map cleanly to flat vector shapes. Simplify your art to fewer flat colors before vectorizing.

Can I vectorize digital art with a transparent background?

Yes — transparent PNG preserves the artwork without a background. Use Color mode in imagetosvg.com for multi-color illustrations.
