For Frontend developers and product designers
Convert icons to SVG for design systems
Build scalable SVG icon sets from raster sources — free.
Modern design systems and frontend component libraries expect SVG icons. VectorDrop converts raster icons into clean, consistent SVG paths ready to drop into your icon library, React components, or design tokens.
Why VectorDrop for this
- ▸Consistent SVG output that imports cleanly into React, Vue, Svelte
- ▸Editable path data — style with CSS, recolour with currentColor
- ▸Resolution-independent — one file serves all DPIs
- ▸Small file sizes — ideal for icon fonts and sprite sheets
Tips for best results
- ▸Convert at consistent source sizes (for example 48 or 64 px) for uniform output
- ▸Simplify the trace parameters so paths are minimal and editable
- ▸Rename SVG IDs and stroke widths in post to fit your design system
- ▸Use currentColor for strokes and fills to inherit theme colours
Real examples
- ▸Replacing raster PNG icons in a React codebase with SVG components
- ▸Building a Figma icon library from legacy PNG assets
- ▸Creating a sprite sheet of navigation icons from raster mocks
- ▸Vectorising emoji-style illustrations for a playful UI
Frequently asked questions
What size should my source icons be?
48 px to 256 px usually works well. Larger sources produce more precise traces.
Can I style VectorDrop's SVG icons with CSS?
Yes. Replace fixed fills with currentColor in your SVGs and they inherit colour from CSS.
Is the output compatible with React (Next.js)?
Yes. You can import the exported SVG directly or paste the path data into a React component.
