- Scales to any size
- One file from a favicon to a poster
- Editable shapes
- 151
- Colors you can swap
- 79
- File size
- 132 KB SVG
The original JPG is 18 KB. To print it 4000 px wide as a PNG you would need a 2.81 MB file (22x the SVG), and it would still be an enlarged copy of the same pixels. The SVG stays this size at every size.
Each of the 79 colors in the file is a value you can change, so the whole image recolors instantly. A JPG can only be recolored by repainting it.
Same file, any size
The SVG is drawn fresh at every size. The JPG can only be stretched or squeezed, shown here without smoothing so you see its real pixels.
Favicon, 16 px
Card, 200 px
Poster, 4000 px wide
A window of the print at full size, around the same detail.

What the vectorizer did
- The fox is drawn in a handful of flat colors, but JPG compression adds faint shades along every edge, so the trace found 79 solid colors. Reduce colors brings it back to the real palette.
- No gradients were needed: the art is flat, and the SVG reflects that.
- This JPG is very small (about 19 KB). The SVG is bigger but stays sharp at poster size.
