Ideogram Vector Image-to-Vector converts images into editable SVG graphics, with detailed and simplified modes for logos, icons, and illustrations. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

Ideogram Vector Image-to-Vector converts an existing image into editable SVG artwork. Use it to turn raster images into scalable vector graphics while keeping the overall structure and style of the source image.


Why Choose This?

  • Image-to-SVG conversion — Turn an existing image into editable vector artwork.
  • Two conversion modes — Choose between higher detail or a simpler, cleaner result.
  • Scalable graphics — Resize the SVG freely without raster pixelation.
  • Simple workflow — Upload one image, choose a mode, and generate.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
imageYesSource image to convert. Supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP, up to 50 MB.
modeNoConversion mode: default preserves finer details, while simple uses fewer and simpler shapes. Default: default.

How to Use

  1. Upload an image — Provide the source image you want to convert.
  2. Choose a mode — Use default for more detail or simple for a cleaner result.
  3. Submit — Generate and download the SVG output.

Pricing

$0.11 per generated SVG.

The price is the same for both default and simple modes.


Best Use Cases

  • Raster logo conversion — Convert existing logo images into editable vector artwork.
  • Scalable icons — Turn small raster graphics into SVG assets.
  • Illustration cleanup — Rebuild simple artwork in vector form.
  • Design workflows — Prepare editable graphics for further refinement.

Pro Tips

  • Start with a clear, high-quality source image for the best result.
  • Use default mode when finer details are important.
  • Use simple mode when you want fewer shapes and a cleaner design.
  • Review the output before production use, especially around text and small details.

Notes

  • Only one input image is supported per request.
  • Supported formats are JPEG, PNG, and WebP.
  • The maximum input file size is 50 MB.
  • No text prompt is required or supported.
  • Each request generates one SVG.
  • Fine details may be simplified during conversion, so manual cleanup may still be useful for production workflows.
