Free photo to line art SVG converter in your browser. Turn portraits and photos into clean single-line vector art for tattoos, coloring pages, and engraving. Private.
Quantize colors, blur, and boost contrast for clean cartoon-style vectors.
For tattoo artists, illustrators, and makers who want to reduce a photo to bold outline-style line art saved as a clean, scalable SVG.
Line art strips a photo down to its essential contours — bold outlines, no shading — and that look depends on aggressive simplification before tracing. This converter runs fully in your browser, so the photos you reduce to line art (often personal portraits) never get uploaded. To get the line-art look we lean on Cartoon Mode, which quantizes colors, blurs noise, and boosts contrast so only the strongest edges survive, and we pair it with a low numColors of 3 and a raised threshold so mid-tones drop away and you are left with crisp shape boundaries. A higher pathomit clears the speckle that photo detail creates, while tight ltres and qtres keep the surviving outlines smooth and flowing rather than ragged. The result is a clean, scalable SVG you can ink, print as a coloring page, or send to a laser for engraving. Increase threshold for an even more minimal, sparse line drawing, or lower it to retain more interior detail and texture.
