Free JPG to SVG converter

To try, yes. Without an account you get a free preview on the home page, no signup. A new account then gets five free conversions at up to 2 megapixels, no card — a trial, given once rather than every month. Paid plans start at $9 a month and convert in the browser without a monthly ceiling; the API is sold separately by volume and starts on Pro.

None in the file itself: both extensions hold the same JPEG format, and the engine reads the type from the file's bytes rather than its name. Upload either; the result is identical.

JPEG cannot store transparency, so whatever was behind the subject when the photo or export was made is part of the image now. It comes back as its own shape behind the artwork — select it and delete it in any vector editor. If a PNG original still exists and you need a transparent result, convert that instead: PNG carries alpha, and transparent areas stay empty.

JPEG compression divides the image into 8×8-pixel blocks and approximates each one, which leaves faint blockiness and color shifts around edges. A per-pixel tracer turns that noise into hundreds of tiny paths. Vectorgram merges low-contrast detail before tracing, so the artifacts fold into the regions they belong to instead of becoming geometry. On Pro and above, lowering the detail level merges more aggressively — useful on heavily compressed files.

If the original PNG still exists, yes: it has no compression artifacts and, where it matters, a real alpha channel. Converting a JPG that was made from a PNG keeps the compression damage in the result. If the JPG is all there is — a camera file, a download, a client export — vectorize it as is, and raise the detail level if fine texture is going missing.

Approximately. JPEG compression has already shifted them — most visibly on saturated edges — and grouping neighboring tones into flat regions moves them a little further. For exact brand colors, set them on the resulting paths in your editor afterwards: on clean, low-node geometry that is one edit per color.
