PicSvg — Image & Logo to SVG Turn any photo, logo, or hand-drawn image into a clean, scalable SVG vector file — right from your iPhone. PicSvg uses Apple's Vision framework to trace the outlines of your image and export them as crisp, production-ready SVG paths. No subscriptions. No uploads. Everything happens on your device. Built for Makers Whether you're cutting on a Cricut, firing up a diode or CO2 laser, running LightBurn, or engraving with an xTool, PicSvg gives you the vector file you need. Import the exported SVG directly into your cutting or engraving software and get straight to making. Perfect for Designers Open your SVG in Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer and it's ready to edit — clean paths, no raster artifacts. Vectorize logos, illustrations, signatures, or any artwork and bring it into your design workflow in seconds. How It Works Choose a photo from your library Crop to the area you want to trace Adjust the Threshold slider to dial in exactly which lines and details get traced Tap OK to preview your SVG with custom stroke color and width Export the .svg file or copy the markup directly Powerful Tracing Controls Threshold — control how much of the image gets traced, from the boldest outlines to the finest detail Smooth — round sharp corners for flowing, natural curves Optimize — reduce anchor points for smaller, cleaner SVG files Ignore small paths — filter out pixel noise and background specks automatically SVG Preview & Styling Before you export, preview your vector with full zoom and pan support. Adjust stroke color, stroke width, and toggle fill on or off. When it looks right, export the .svg file or copy the raw SVG markup to paste anywhere. Great For Tracing logos for laser engraving and vinyl cutting Converting hand-drawn artwork to vectors Vectorizing stencils, monograms, and clipart Preparing files for Cricut Design Space, LightBurn, xTool Creative Space, Illustrator, and Affinity Designer Creating SVGs for web, print, and embroidery Privacy First Your images never leave your device.
