SVG.new

SVG.new is a browser-based converter for turning raster images into editable SVG paths, with an API for automated workflows. It suits designers refining existing artwork and developers processing images; it is a poor fit for anyone seeking text-to-vector generation or export beyond SVG.

Overview

The conversion engine detects colors and edges and fits Bézier paths, after which users can recolor, erase, and reduce the palette in a built-in editor. That makes SVG.new more useful than a bare conversion step when an image needs cleanup before delivery. PNG, JPG, WebP, and AVIF are accepted, and no browser-input resolution limit is stated.

SVG.new says it aims to preserve source colors and fit edges precisely. Those aims are useful, but they do not guarantee clean paths for every image. SVG is the only export format, so workflows that need other vector formats will need another tool.

Key features

Editable paths and in-browser cleanup: Users can modify color and palette and erase unwanted areas before downloading. This is practical for improving a conversion, but not a substitute for generating vector artwork from a prompt.

REST API and integrations: The API uses Bearer token authentication, accepts images up to 20MB, and batches up to 50 images. Vectorization, background removal, and each image in a batch cost one credit; recolor and simplify are free. Integrations include Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, Figma, Raycast, n8n, Zapier, and Make, making the product relevant to both design and automation workflows.

Privacy and support: Users can access, edit, and delete their information through the web interface. The privacy policy says the operator strives to prevent unauthorized access but cannot guarantee completely secure internet transmission. Support usually replies within a day; contact is available at [email protected].

Pricing

The Free plan costs $0/forever and allows three vectorizations per day, with full-color SVG output, the built-in editor, downloads, and personal use. That is enough for occasional personal conversions, but the daily cap and personal-use restriction make it unsuitable for commercial work or regular higher-volume production.

Pro costs $9.99 per month and includes 1,000 vectorizations per month, full-color output, the editor, REST API and MCP access, commercial use, priority processing, premium support, and cancellation at any time. It is the clear fit for commercial users and developers who need API access or predictable monthly volume. The quota is monthly rather than daily, and vectorization credits still matter for API operations such as batches.

A free trial is offered. The Pro plan's monthly price and cancel-anytime terms keep the commitment flexible, while the Free plan is the lower-cost choice only if its three-a-day allowance and personal-use terms are sufficient.

Platforms

SVG.new runs on the web and offers an API. The API's 20MB per-image ceiling and 50-image batch limit define its automation scale; the browser accepts the four stated raster formats without a stated resolution cap.

Who it's for

Choose SVG.new if you need editable SVG paths from existing raster artwork and want to make basic corrections before export. Pro is especially relevant to teams or developers automating repeat conversions, though the listed plans do not describe seat counts. Avoid it if you need text-prompt generation, multiple export formats, or a more generous free daily allowance.

Pros and cons

Pros: Four common input formats, editable paths, and in-browser recolor, erase, and palette reduction make conversion and cleanup a single workflow.

Pros: Pro combines 1,000 monthly vectorizations, commercial use, API and MCP access, and cancel-anytime billing for $9.99 per month.

Cons: Free is capped at three vectorizations per day and limited to personal use, so it cannot serve as a no-cost commercial workflow.

Cons: SVG is the sole export format, and there is no text-to-vector generation.

Cons: API uploads are capped at 20MB each, and batch processing is limited to 50 images.

Alternatives

AI Vector Generators is the broader category directory for comparing options.

AnnoMotion is worth considering if Windows support or its free daily credits better match your workflow.

Amnt suits readers looking for a free plan with 20 daily generations and access to all studios and models.

Wix Logo Maker is the alternative to consider for logo creation across Android, iOS, and web.

GoToVector may fit a one-off need: its Single plan costs $4.99 once, and its free plan includes a watermarked SVG sheet and five regenerations.

OmniSVG offers a free demo with five daily generations and uploads up to 5MB, including Linux, macOS, web, and self-hosted platforms.

Vectorizer.AI is another API and web option; its API plan costs $9.99 per month for 50 credits, with up to five times the monthly credits rolling over.

Clearly Logo Maker is another freemium option for readers considering a logo maker.

Breme is another freemium web alternative.

Verdict

SVG.new is a sound choice for designers and developers who need to convert existing raster images into editable SVGs and refine them before export. Its strongest reason to choose it is the combination of browser editing, an API, and a 1,000-vectorization Pro plan at $9.99 per month. Look elsewhere if your work starts with a text prompt, requires non-SVG exports, or must stay within the Free plan's tight daily cap and personal-use terms.
