Convert HEIC to SVG Online
Apple's HEIC format is compact but locked to pixels. Trace it into real vector paths in seconds — free, no sign-up, and your file is deleted right after conversion.

Supports PNG / JPG / WEBP / GIF / BMP, max 20MB
Drop a HEIC straight from your camera roll. PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, and BMP work too.
Why HEIC must be traced first
HEIC is Apple's compressed photo format. Browsers and design tools can't edit it as a vector, so it has to be traced into SVG paths before you can recolor or resize it. Renaming the extension or exporting a JPG copy does not change that — the pixels are still pixels. Tracing rebuilds each colour region as a curve, which is what makes the artwork editable and resolution-independent.
What iPhone photos turn into
Typical HEIC sources and the vector output you can expect:
iPhone shot of a shop sign
Clean lettering as vector paths
HEIC photo of a printed logo
Recolourable brand mark in SVG
iPad screenshot saved as HEIC
Editable UI shapes you can resize
Photo pixels vs traced vector
Move your mouse across either image — a 4x magnifier appears on both sides.
Zoom into a phone photo and edges break apart. The traced SVG stays razor sharp at any size.
Best for product and logo photos
Clean, high-contrast HEIC shots trace cleanly. Run a quick preprocess pass on noisy phone photos for sharper edges.
- High-contrast HEIC product shots
- Photographed logos and signage
- Flat artwork captured on an iPhone
- Well-lit line drawings and lettering
Harder to trace
Depth-of-field blur and sensor noise give the tracer no clear edge to follow, so results get mushy.
- Portrait-mode photos with soft bokeh
- Low-light HEIC frames with heavy noise
- Scenes with dozens of overlapping subjects
- Screenshots of photographic wallpapers

iPhone & iPad photos
HEIC is Apple's space-saving photo format, but most design and cutting tools can't open it — and even when they can, a HEIC stays a raster. Veclify turns a HEIC photo into an editable SVG so the artwork scales cleanly into logos, stickers, and crafts.
Upload the HEIC straight from your phone or computer. It is traced over an encrypted connection and deleted the moment conversion finishes, so your photos never linger on our servers.
Why convert HEIC to SVG
A HEIC is a compressed photo, not a vector. Zoom in and it blurs; drop it into a cutter or a logo and it fights you. Tracing rebuilds the image as Bézier paths that stay sharp at any size and recolor in one click.
How Veclify traces HEIC
Veclify sends the HEIC over an encrypted link, vectorizes it with AI path fitting, and returns SVG you can refine — simplify nodes, adjust colors, then export SVG, PNG, PDF, or EPS. No app to install, no account required.
