What changes in this conversion

  • SVG cannot store animation, so the motion in the original is not preserved.
  • The pixel image is embedded inside the SVG file rather than redrawn as true vector paths, so it will not gain infinite scalability.

How to use

  1. Add your GIF file

    Drag the GIF file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.

  2. Confirm SVG as the output

    SVG is already selected as the output format on this page. You can set the output width and height. Quality stays untouched because this format is lossless.

  3. Run the conversion

    Press the convert button. A single image is usually done before you finish reading this sentence.

  4. Download the SVG file

    When it finishes, download the SVG file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.

About these formats

GIF GIF Image

An older format limited to 256 colors, still widely used because it can hold multiple frames for short animations. It supports on/off transparency but not partial opacity.

Commonly used for Short animations, reaction images (memes), simple icons

GIF File format reference

SVG SVG Vector Image

A vector format that describes artwork as mathematical shapes rather than pixels. It stays sharp at any zoom level, and because the file is text you can edit it in code.

Commonly used for Logos, icons, responsive web graphics, diagrams

Frequently asked questions

Is converting GIF to SVG really free?

Yes. GIF to SVG conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.

Are my GIF files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the GIF file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.

What happens to the animation when I convert GIF to SVG?

SVG stores a single frame, so only the first frame is kept. To preserve motion, convert to an animated format such as WebP or MP4.

Does the SVG file get bigger than the GIF?

It can go either way. Both formats are lossless, so nothing is thrown away — the size difference comes from how each one packs the same data.

Is there a file size limit for GIF to SVG conversion?

The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
