Convert RAW to SVG — Free Online Converter

RAW to SVG converts camera sensor data into Scalable Vector Graphics format through a vectorization process. This is not a simple format swap — it involves decoding the RAW image, then tracing the pixel data to produce vector paths and shapes that approximate the original photograph. The resulting SVG is resolution-independent, infinitely scalable, and editable in vector graphics tools like Illustrator, Inkscape, and Figma.

Our converter uses Sharp for RAW decoding and vtracer for the vectorization step, producing SVGs with configurable detail levels from minimal stylized traces to highly detailed representations.

Vector versions of photographs have specific applications: scalable backgrounds for responsive web design, artistic stylized versions of photos, print designs at any size, laser cutting templates from photographs, CNC routing patterns, and embroidery digitization. SVG from RAW gives you a vector starting point from the highest quality source possible. The vectorized output can be styled with CSS, animated with JavaScript, and scaled to billboard size without pixelation.

Sharp decodes the RAW sensor data and produces a full-color bitmap. vtracer then traces the bitmap using color-aware path tracing, producing vector paths with configurable parameters: color precision (how many unique colors to trace), filter speckle size (minimum detail to preserve), curve fitting mode (spline, polygon, or pixel), and corner threshold. The output SVG contains path elements with fill colors approximating the original photograph. Higher color precision produces more faithful results but larger SVG files.
