How to use it
- Drop in a .webp file.
- Choose a style and set the number of colors.
- Compare the trace with the original and tune smoothing.
- Download the SVG.
Why you end up with WebP
Many websites and browsers save images as WebP, so a logo you right-click and save may land on your computer in a format your design software will not open. Tracing it to SVG gives you a file that opens in almost everything and scales cleanly.
Lossy WebP needs a little softening
Lossy WebP leaves compression noise like JPG does. If edges look rough, raise Soften and Remove small specks. A lossless WebP traces as cleanly as a PNG.
What the settings do
- Soften
- Smooths compression noise before tracing.
- Colors
- The number of flat colors kept. Fewer is simpler.
- Smoothing
- Higher values give cleaner curves.
What people use it for
- Logos saved from websites as WebP
- Icons and graphics exported from tools that default to WebP
- Getting a WebP graphic into Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma
Questions
Does the tool support animated WebP?
Only the first frame is used.
Does it keep transparency?
Yes. Transparent areas stay empty in the SVG.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Tracing and file creation happen in your browser, using code that is part of this page. Your image is not sent to a server. You can check this in your browser's network tab while you use the tool.
