# Image to SVG Vectorizer

Turn PNG, JPG and WebP images into clean, scalable **SVG vector files**. Give it image URLs, get back one SVG per
image: saved as a file and, for agents and API callers, inline in the dataset. Logos, icons, illustrations, line art
and pixel art all work; photos become a posterised vector look.

- **Real vector paths**, not a bitmap wrapped in an SVG: colour layers traced into smooth curves with
  [VTracer](https://github.com/visioncortex/vtracer) (MIT).
- **Presets** for logos, illustrations, photos and pixel art, plus a black-and-white mode for line art,
  stencils, signatures and plotter/vinyl cutting.
- **Batch**: many images in one run; one bad URL doesn't stop the rest, and failed images are never charged.
- **Agent-ready**: the SVG markup comes back in the dataset row (up to 200 KB), so an AI agent calling this through
  the Apify MCP server gets the result in one call.

## Input

| Field | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `imageUrls` | Public image URLs (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF; up to 25 MB each) |
| `preset` | `logo` (default), `illustration`, `photo` or `pixel-art` |
| `blackAndWhite` | Two-colour trace for line art |
| `maxSide` | Longer side is scaled down to this before tracing (default 2000 px) |
| `includeSvgInDataset` | Put the SVG text in the dataset row (default on) |

```json
{ "imageUrls": ["https://example.com/logo.png"], "preset": "logo" }
```

## Output

One dataset row per image:

```json
{
  "imageUrl": "https://example.com/logo.png",
  "svgUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/0001-logo.svg",
  "width": 512, "height": 512, "paths": 14, "svgBytes": 46094,
  "svg": "<?xml version=\"1.0\" ...",
  "error": null
}
```

The SVG files are also in the run's key-value store. Export the table as JSON, CSV or Excel.

## Pricing

**$0.01 per converted image** ($10 per 1,000), no subscription. Failed images (unreachable URL, not an image,
too large) cost nothing.

## Use it from an agent (MCP)

Add this remote MCP server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client:

    https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=jordan-belfort/image-to-svg-vectorizer

It exposes this Actor as a single tool. Sign in with your Apify account (OAuth) or pass an Apify
API token as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Runs are billed to your account at the price above.

**No Apify account?** An agent with a USDC wallet on Base or Solana can buy a prepaid Apify token over
x402 and call this Actor with it as the bearer token
([Apify x402 docs](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402)). This Actor runs with limited
permissions, so a prepaid token works:

## Good to know

- Tracing works best on images with clear shapes and a limited palette. Photos come out as stylised vector art,
  not a photographic copy.
- Only convert images you have the rights to. The Actor reads public URLs and stores nothing beyond your run.
- Questions or a bad result? Open an issue on the Issues tab with the image URL; answered within a day.
