SEE THE DIFFERENCE

From fuzzy pixels to perfect vectors.

PerfectVector rebuilds your image as crisp, scalable vector art. Sharp at any size, anywhere.

PHOTOSHOP INPUT GUIDE

Vectorize the saved composite, not the layer stack.

PSD and PSB are document containers, not ordinary flat-image formats. PerfectVector accepts only a bounded saved-composite workflow so the image you approve is the image that gets traced.

How Photoshop files are handled

  • The browser checks a PSD version 1 or PSB version 2 document locally before any source-derived upload begins.
  • A supported 8-bit RGB saved composite without an embedded ICC profile, using raw or RLE data, is decoded in a disposable worker and prepared as a verified PNG.
  • Every accepted file opens a mandatory review of the exact final image. The original PSD or PSB bytes never enter presign, upload, job creation, analytics, logs, or Sentry.

Strong Photoshop sources

  • Flattened logos, badges, lettering, icons, and flat-color illustrations
  • Artwork whose visible saved appearance is correct but whose original vector file is missing
  • Designs with clear edges and limited shading that need scalable, editable shapes

Keep or re-save the Photoshop document when

  • You need original layers, masks, live text, effects, paths, artboards, or Smart Objects; none of those structures is reconstructed.
  • The file has no usable saved compatibility image. Re-save it with “Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility” enabled, or export a PNG.
  • The first release rejects every embedded ICC profile. Accepted documents must also stay within 4,096 pixels per side and 10,000,000 total pixels; unsupported color modes, depth, compression, animation, or ambiguous channel layouts fail closed.
HOW IT WORKS

From a Photoshop document to a reviewed SVG result.

  1. 1

    Choose a PSD or PSB

    PerfectVector identifies the Photoshop format from its bytes and inspects the document locally before decoding.

  2. 2

    Review the saved compatibility image

    Confirm the flattened image, dimensions, transparency, background, and visible effects that will be traced. The hidden layer structure is not part of the conversion.

  3. 3

    Inspect the vector preview

    Check edges, lettering, color regions, negative space, and path complexity in the watermarked SVG preview for free.

  4. 4

    Unlock the finished SVG

    Spend one credit only when you download the finished result. An already unlocked result can be downloaded again without another charge.

BACKGROUND

What survives when Photoshop becomes SVG?

A Photoshop document can contain layers, masks, live text, effects, Smart Objects, artboards, and other editing structure. PerfectVector does not translate that structure into SVG. It uses the saved merged compatibility image, which is the flattened view Photoshop stored when the document was last saved.

The browser inspects and decodes that saved image locally, prepares verified pixels, and shows the final image before vectorization. Your original PSD or PSB source is not uploaded. Only the prepared image you confirm can enter the existing vectorization workflow.

The SVG contains vector paths rebuilt from those visible pixels. A flattened logo, badge, lettering design, icon, or flat illustration can become scalable shapes again, but the original Photoshop layer stack, editable type, masks, effects, and Smart Object contents do not return.

Use the clearest saved version you have. Flat colors, strong edges, readable negative space, and limited shading usually produce cleaner paths. Keep the Photoshop document or export a raster image when photographic detail, soft texture, subtle gradients, or the original editing structure matters more than vector geometry.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT PHOTOSHOP PATH

Editable vector shapes or preserved Photoshop structure?

PerfectVector rebuilds the visible saved image as paths. Keep the Photoshop document when its editing structure matters, or export PNG first when the file cannot provide a supported compatibility image.

Depends on your Photoshop access
Depends on your export workflow

Use PerfectVector when the saved Photoshop appearance is the best surviving source and you need editable SVG geometry. Keep the PSD or PSB when its native layer structure or photographic detail is the real asset.

  • Unlimited vectorizing & preview
  • Original PSD and PSB bytes stay in your browser
  • The exact saved composite is reviewed before vectorization
  • Layers and effects are never claimed to be recovered
Before you pick a plan

You're in good company.

I'd tried everything and been let down every time — I'd given up, figuring today's tech just couldn't do this. And you actually built it. If this is real, it's genuinely incredible.

It converts at even better quality than I expected — it preserves the character of the original better than anything else I've tried.
imbee••••via Threads
PerfectVector is impressively fast, and the output quality is already very good. With a bit more refinement it could easily compete with the leading tools.
InPixelSt••••design studiovia email
Way more detailed than I expected. Opening Illustrator to convert every single time was such a chore — bookmarked.
bazzing••••Illustrator uservia Threads
Tried it — it's accurate. Simple images actually expose detail differences more than complex ones do, and this nails them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions before you convert?

Can PerfectVector convert both PSD and PSB files to SVG?+
Yes, for the supported Photoshop subset. PSD version 1 and PSB version 2 files can be opened locally when they contain a usable 8-bit RGB saved compatibility image without an embedded ICC profile. The image must stay within 4,096 pixels per side and 10,000,000 total pixels.
Will my Photoshop layers remain editable in the SVG?+
No. PerfectVector traces the flattened compatibility image saved inside the document. It does not reconstruct layers, masks, live text, Photoshop paths, effects, artboards, or Smart Objects. Their visible result can appear only if it was already baked into the saved image.
What is the Photoshop compatibility image?+
It is the merged, flattened view Photoshop can save alongside the editable document structure. PerfectVector uses that image as the deterministic source. If it is missing, re-save with “Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility” enabled or export the artwork as PNG.
Is my original PSD or PSB uploaded?+
No. The original Photoshop source is inspected and decoded locally in your browser. Only the verified prepared image you review and confirm can enter PerfectVector's normal vectorization pipeline.
Which Photoshop documents are not supported?+
The first release rejects documents without a usable saved composite, every embedded ICC profile, unsupported color modes or channel depth, ZIP composite compression, ambiguous extra channels, animation, corrupt structure, dimensions above 4,096 pixels per side, or more than 10,000,000 total pixels. Re-save an 8-bit RGB compatibility composite without an embedded profile, or export a smaller PNG, as the recovery path.
Which Photoshop artwork vectorizes best?+
Flat logos, badges, icons, lettering, line art, and illustrations with clear edges and limited shading work best. Photos, soft gradients, texture, blur, and complex lighting become stylized color regions rather than a pixel-faithful replacement.
How does pricing work?+
Vectorizing and preview are always free and unlimited — you only spend a credit when you download a finished file.
