Why these tools only take PNG and JPG

Vectorizers, upscalers and AI image tools are built on imaging libraries that read a small set of raster formats. Supporting HEIC would mean adding an HEVC decoder and its licensing to every deployment, for a format only Apple hardware produces, so almost none of them bother.

Most run in the browser or accept browser uploads too, and browsers cannot decode HEIC natively — so the file is rejected before any processing begins.

Feed them a clean input

Quality matters more than usual here. Auto-tracers turn compression artefacts into stray anchor points, and upscalers happily magnify JPEG blocking into something worse. Convert at 95% and the tool has clean edges to work from.

For anything that needs transparency preserved on the way in, use our HEIC to PNG converter instead — PNG is lossless and keeps the alpha channel.

  1. Drop your source photo in

    Drag it onto the box above or press Select Files. Leave quality high for a clean trace.

  2. Upload the JPG to your tool

    Download it and feed it into the vectorizer, upscaler or generator as your raster input.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't my vectorizer accept a HEIC file?

Because its imaging library reads a fixed set of raster formats and HEIC is not among them, and because browsers — where many of these tools run — cannot decode HEIC at all. Converting to JPG or PNG gives the tool something it can read.

Should I use JPG or PNG as the input?

PNG if the source has flat colour, hard edges or transparency, since it is lossless and preserves alpha. JPG at high quality is fine for photographic sources and produces much smaller files. For tracing logos or line art, PNG gives cleaner results.

Is anything uploaded to a server?

No. The decoder is a WebAssembly module that runs inside your browser tab, so the photo is read from your device into memory and converted there. You can check it in your browser's Network tab, or disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded and convert anyway.
