AVIF is the newest web image format, and many design tools still cannot open it. Your browser can, so SVGShift decodes it there and traces the pixels to SVG.

Pick a preset; AVIF is usually lossy, so a little Pre-smoothing helps.
Download the SVG.
AVIF is based on the AV1 video codec from the Alliance for Open Media. It compresses better than JPEG and WebP and supports transparency, which is why many sites now serve it. It is still a raster format, so to scale a logo saved as AVIF you have to trace it.
AVIF decoding is supported in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari (16.4+). On an older browser, convert the file to PNG first.
Yes, transparent areas stay empty in the SVG.
No. The image is decoded and traced by JavaScript in your own browser tab, in a background worker. Nothing is sent to a server, which is why it also works offline once the page has loaded.
A vectorizer describes every colour region as a filled path. A photo has thousands of tiny regions, so the SVG can end up larger than the original file. Vectorizing works best on logos, icons, line art, signatures and flat illustrations with a handful of colours.
