The best Figma plugins for vectorizing images and SVG in 2026
Image Tracer is the best Figma vectorize plugin for most people: 842K designers use it to turn raster images into coloured vector layers or a quick tracing mask, and it's free with a paid license for more. The most-installed plugin on this list overall is To Path (882K users), but it bends text and shapes along a curve rather than tracing images.

Best overall tracer
Image Tracer
by Dave
Image Tracer converts a selected image into coloured vector layers, or traces it as a mask you can restyle. With 842K users it's the most-used true vectorizer in Figma. It's free to try with a license sold separately, so heavy users should budget for that.842K 8.1KFree + paid - #3
Best free tracer
Vectorize Bitmap
by Patrik Schiller
Vectorize Bitmap is a free bitmap tracer that handles transparency and multiple colours, which covers logos and flat illustrations well. It has 256K users. Photos with soft gradients will turn into a lot of paths, as with any tracer, so simplify the source image first.256K 1.4KFree - #8
Best for clean SVG export
SVG Export
by Hamish
SVG Export runs your exports through svgo and lets you save presets, so every icon in a set comes out with the same trimmed, consistent code. It's free and used by 126K designers. It doesn't trace anything; pair it with a tracer if you start from a bitmap.126K 1.1KFree

Buying guide
What to look for
Since February 2026 Figma has its own Vectorize tool in Figma Design, Draw, Slides and Buzz. It's on paid plans only and each conversion draws on Figma's shared AI credits, so free-plan users and anyone tracing in bulk still have good reasons to reach for a plugin. Plugins also give you knobs the native tool doesn't: colour count, thresholds, inversion and local processing.
The list mixes three jobs. Tracers (Image Tracer, Vectorize Bitmap, Tracer, Trace Images) convert pixels to paths. Path tools (To Path, BlendingMe, Really Flatten Vectors) reshape vectors you already have. Exporters (SVG Export, Advanced SVG Export) clean up the SVG code Figma writes. If you're after icon libraries rather than conversion, see icon plugins.
- 01
Colour or monochrome tracing
Logos and line art trace well in one colour with a threshold slider (Trace Image does this). Illustrations need multi-colour output; check how many colours a tracer allows before it merges shades.
- 02
Path count
A traced photo can produce thousands of anchor points. Look for smoothing or detail settings, and run Really Flatten Vectors afterwards to merge overlapping shapes.
- 03
Where the image is processed
Some tracers send your image to a server, others run locally. For client work under NDA, pick one that says it processes on your machine, like Free Vectorizer.
- 04
Limits on the free tier
Image Tracer, Vectorizer and Image2Vector sell licenses or credits in the plugin. Free ones like Vectorize Bitmap and Tracer have no paywall but fewer settings.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can Figma vectorize an image without a plugin?
Yes, on paid plans. Figma's native Vectorize tool (launched February 2026) converts a raster image on the canvas into editable vectors in colour, grayscale or black and white, using AI credits. On the free plan you'll need a plugin such as Vectorize Bitmap.
How do I convert a PNG to SVG in Figma?
Place the PNG, select it, run a tracer like Image Tracer to get vector layers, then select the result and export it as SVG from the Export panel. Clean up stray shapes before exporting.
Why is my traced SVG so large?
Tracers create a path for every colour region, so gradients and photo noise multiply the node count. Reduce colours, raise the threshold, and run the export through an optimiser like SVG Export or Advanced SVG Export.
How do I put text on a path in Figma?
Figma Draw has a native Text on a path tool: pick it from the toolbar, hover a vector until the cursor changes, and type. To Path predates it and also places shapes and groups along a curve, which is why it's still the most-installed plugin here.
