Protected Vector Preview

No account is required to create or view the protected preview. The preview accepts one PNG, JPEG, or WebP file up to 4 MiB; other source formats must be exported or converted to one of those formats first. Editable SVG export requires paid or complimentary access. Review the exported SVG in the appropriate downstream software; non-SVG formats and machine instructions require separate conversion.

About Convert GIF to SVG

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) uses an 8-bit indexed colour palette limited to 256 colours. While useful for simple animations and legacy web graphics, GIF files are not suitable for high-resolution print, cutting machine use, or scalable design workflows.

The vectorizer traces the colour edges in the GIF and converts them to SVG paths.

For animated GIFs: the vectorizer processes the first frame only. To vectorize all frames of an animated GIF, extract individual frames as PNG images and vectorize each one separately.

Increase the contrast or threshold of the GIF before uploading if the edges are soft or indistinct.

GIF is not a direct preview input; export the source to PNG, JPEG, or WebP before upload.
