What changes in this conversion

  • The pixel image is embedded inside the SVG file rather than redrawn as true vector paths, so it will not gain infinite scalability.
  • SVG opens almost everywhere, so the converted file will work on devices and programs that refused the original PPM.

How to use

  1. Add your PPM file

    Drag the PPM 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting PPM to SVG really free?

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

Are my PPM files uploaded to a server?

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

Does the SVG file get bigger than the PPM?

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 PPM 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.
