: Correct and simple way to convert PNG to SVG? What would be the best way to convert this type of image to SVG?

@Alves566

I copied your image to Inkscape and went to Path > Trace Bitmap. The settings = default.

Done.

SVG is Inkscape's native file type.



Because it's now a vector, the fill and stroke could be changed in a second.

Side by side comparison original vs. SVG does not show any serious differences except my random color selection:



NOTE: Your image is easily traceable because all borders are crisp and there's not much different colors. Tracing for example ordinary photos is quite unuseful except for weird posterization effects. Having only few colors with sharp borders goes well.

Technically speaking, it can't be done.

Since PNG is raster image while SVG is vector (in the name Scalable Vector Graphics)
You can't actually convert a raster to vector



However, what you could do is Trace the image into Vector (SVG)


Trace the Image in Illustrator (using the auto-trace feature)
then save the traced output as SVG.
