A tool for converting PNG and JPEG raster images into SVG files, which use scalable shapes instead of fixed pixels. It chooses tracing methods for monochrome artwork or full-colour images.

Use it to vectorise supported image files and save SVG versions beside the originals or in another chosen location.

It helps turn logos, icons, line art, and other raster images into graphics that can scale without becoming blurry.

Per session 53 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00053	$0.00891
Opus 5.5	$0.00021	$0.00356
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00178
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00089

Security

Grade A, and why

png2svg scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/png2svg.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

png2svg — Raster to SVG Conversion

Convert raster images (PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, WebP) to high-fidelity SVG.

Auto-detects the best tracing engine:

potrace for monochrome images (logos, icons, line art) — smooth bezier curves, tiny files
vtracer for full-colour images (illustrations, photos) — preserves colour layers

Setup check

Before first use, verify dependencies are installed:

python3 -c "from PIL import Image; import numpy; print('ok')" && python3 -c "import vtracer; print('vtracer ok')" && potrace --version

If anything is missing:

pip install Pillow numpy vtracer && brew install potrace

Script location

The conversion script is at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/png2svg.py.

Workflow

Identify the image(s) — confirm the file path(s) with the user. If they mention a directory, use Glob to find image files (**/*.png, **/*.jpg).
Determine output location — default is alongside the input file with .svg extension. Ask if unclear.
Run the conversion:

python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/png2svg.py" <input> [options]

Report the result — show the engine used, file sizes, and output path.

Options

Flag	Description	Default
`-o, --output`	Output file or directory	Same dir as input
`-e, --engine`	`auto`, `potrace`, or `vtracer`	`auto`
`-p, --preset`	vtracer quality: `max`, `high`, `fast`	`max`
`-c, --colour`	Fill colour for potrace (hex)	Auto-detected
`--alphamax`	Corner smoothness: 0=sharp, 1.334=smooth	`1.0`
`--opttolerance`	Curve precision: lower=more precise	`0.1`
`--turdsize`	Speckle suppression threshold (px)	`2`

Examples

# Auto-detect engine
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/png2svg.py" logo.png

# Force potrace with custom colour
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/png2svg.py" logo.png -e potrace -c '#1a1a1a'

# Batch convert
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/png2svg.py" /path/to/*.png -o /path/to/svgs/

# Sharper corners on a logo
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/png2svg.py" icon.png --alphamax 0.5

# Force vtracer for a colour illustration
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/png2svg.py" artwork.png -e vtracer -p max

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
