What file formats do you support?

We support over 100 file formats including images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF), documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT), videos (MP4, AVI, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC), and many more specialized formats.

Yes, absolutely. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all file transfers. Your files are automatically deleted from our servers after conversion, and we never store or access your personal data.

What is the maximum file size?

The maximum file size for free users is 100MB per file. Premium users can convert files up to 1GB. For larger files, we recommend our batch processing feature.

How long does conversion take?

Most files convert in under 30 seconds. The exact time depends on file size and format complexity. Our advanced algorithms ensure the fastest possible conversion while maintaining quality.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes! Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and convert up to 50 files simultaneously. This is perfect for bulk conversions and saves significant time.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required for basic conversions. However, creating a free account gives you access to batch processing, file history, and priority support.

Why Choose Our Converter?

Accurate PCT raster-to-vector conversions tailored for designers and photographers seeking scalable SVG output.

Fast Vectorization

Quickly convert PCT raster data into SVG paths for immediate use in vector workflows.

Preserve Visual Detail

Edge detection and curve fitting retain photographic contours while simplifying geometry for scalability.

Designer-Friendly SVG

Output adheres to common SVG structure usable by web, editors like Illustrator and Inkscape.

Raster Region Handling

Embedded raster regions from PCT are exported as embedded images when vectorization is impractical.

Adjustable Fidelity

Control path precision and simplification to balance file size versus geometric accuracy.

Local Client Processing

Conversions run in-browser memory buffers to minimize external file transfers when possible.

How to Convert Files

Follow these simple steps to convert your files

Upload Source File

Select or drag and drop your PCT file(s). Ensure originals are the highest quality available.

Adjust Settings

Choose trace precision, raster fallback threshold, and color profile handling before converting.

Convert

Click convert to process files locally in browser; review log for rasterized regions and warnings.

Download Result

Save the SVG output or ZIP containing embedded images and check in your editor for fidelity.

Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare PCT Drawing Ops

Flatten unnecessary PICT groups to simplify mapping into SVG <g> elements
Convert text to outlines in PCT when font substitution is unacceptable
Separate high-detail photographic regions from vector shapes inside the PCT
Remove unused paths or clipping that may multiply node counts in SVG export
Ensure source color space is declared to reduce color shifts after conversion

Target SVG Encoding Choices

Select embedded PNG for photographic PCT areas to retain tone and alpha
Use vector tracing for line art in PCT to reduce SVG file size and improve scalability
Enable path simplification to decrease node counts while preserving silhouette
Choose gzip-compressed SVGZ for large outputs intended for web delivery
Avoid exporting full-resolution raster fragments when vector approximation suffices

Workflow Integration

Test SVG output in Inkscape or Illustrator to confirm editability of converted PCT elements
Reapply ICC profiles in your design tool if color-critical PCT data shifts
For CMS usage, inline critical SVG paths and host large embedded images separately
When preparing print assets, validate vector stroke widths and hairlines after conversion
Use versioned backups of PCT originals before bulk conversions to preserve source fidelity

Verify Output Robustness

Inspect alpha masks in target browsers to ensure PCT transparency mapped correctly
Compare histogram or visual samples to detect color drift from PCT to SVG embedded images
Confirm that converted text either remains editable or is intentionally outlined
Validate that embedded EXIF or ICC were carried over if your workflow depends on them
Run a quick render at multiple zoom levels to catch vectorization artifacts early

Fast Processing

Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.

Client-Side Privacy

No media leaves your device.

Broad Compatibility

Output files work across all operating systems.

Pro Tip

For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
