PNG to SVG Python Overview
Convert PNG images into precise, scalable SVG vectors. Adjust color mode and palette size, layering strategy, curve fitting, corner threshold, segment length, speckle filtering, and gradient steps to balance quality and file size. Optionally set output width/height for consistent exports. Ideal for icons, UI assets, diagrams, and vectorizing raster art.

Customizable Parameters
Fine-tune your automation with these powerful conversion options
File
File Supported formats: .pngFile to be converted. Value can be URL or file content.
Preset
Collection Default: noneChoose a vectorization preset with general tracing settings suited for different image types. When a preset is selected, all converter options except ColorMode are ignored. Presets provide ready-made configurations for producing consistent and balanced SVG results.
ColorMode
Collection Default: colorDetermines whether the image is traced in black-and-white or in full color.
Values: color bwLayering
Collection Default: stackedDefines how color regions are arranged in the output SVG-either as cut-out layers or stacked overlays.
Values: cutout stackedFilterSpeckle
Integer Default: 4Removes small isolated regions during tracing.
Range: 0 .. 128ColorPrecision
Integer Default: 6Sets the quantization level for color reduction.
Range: 1 .. 8GradientStep
Integer Default: 10Controls how gradient transitions are divided into color steps.
Range: 0 .. 128CurveMode
Collection Default: splineDefines how shapes are approximated during tracing. The Pixel mode follows exact pixel boundaries with minimal smoothing, Polygon forms straight-edged paths with sharp corners, and Spline generates smooth, continuous curves for more natural shapes.
CornerThreshold
Integer Default: 55Determines sensitivity for detecting corners versus smooth curves. Effective only when CurveMode is set to Spline.
SegmentLength
Double Default: 4Sets the average length of path segments. Effective only when CurveMode is set to Spline.
SpliceThreshold
Integer Default: 35Defines the threshold for merging adjacent short path segments into longer ones. Effective only when CurveMode is set to Spline.
ImageHeight
IntegerImage height in pixels.
Range: 10 .. 20000ImageWidth
IntegerImage width in pixels.
Range: 10 .. 20000StoreFile
Bool Default: FalseWhen the StoreFile parameter is set to True, your converted file is written to ConvertAPI’s encrypted, temporary storage and made available via a time-limited secure download URL, valid for up to 3 hours. After this period, the file is permanently deleted.
When StoreFile is set to False, conversion happens entirely in-memory. The raw file bytes are streamed back in the API response without touching disk or external storage, ensuring maximum security and zero persistence so that only you can access the content.
