Can I convert PNG to SVG?
Yes. An automatic trace can redraw visible color regions as SVG shapes. The output is an interpretation of the PNG; it may need cleanup to match the source exactly.
SVG vs PNG: the simple guide
Two image formats. Different strengths.
PNG stores an image as pixels and is useful for detailed graphics, screenshots, and transparent images. SVG describes paths and shapes, which can scale cleanly and remain editable.
Neither format is best for every job. Use PNG when you need to preserve a pixel-based image exactly. Use SVG for logos, icons, and illustrations that need to resize or be edited as shapes.

Photos contain fine texture and gradual tones. Tracing simplifies them into a finite number of vector shapes, so the result looks more like an illustration.
