I once needed to convert a bunch of PNG to SVG, but the online tools I used before always gave me a headache because the colors were distorted. I ended up using Illustrator, and although I had to manually adjust some color settings, the final result was really great! The colors were almost exactly the same as the original, especially for some complex gradients.
Adobe Illustrator is a really good way to convert PNG to SVG on Windows. I have used it myself and the results are quite good, especially when you want to keep the colors accurate. Here are my steps, although it is a bit time-consuming, I am very satisfied with the results.
- Import PNG files: Open Illustrator and drag your PNG file directly into it, or import it through "File -> Open".
- Use the Image Trace tool: After selecting the image, click "Image Trace" at the top. There are different preset modes, such as the "High Fidelity Photo" mode, which can maintain higher color fidelity. You can also adjust the detailed settings to ensure that the colors are not out of line.
- Adjust color settings: In the Image Trace panel, you can see the "Advanced" option, click it to fine-tune the amount of color to ensure that the converted color is consistent with the original image. Once adjusted, click the "Expand" button, and the image will be converted into a vector graphic.
- Export to SVG: Once everything is satisfactory, select "File -> Export -> Export to SVG", making sure all appropriate options are checked to maintain the color.
