Convert your JPG file to WMF

Create vector image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file and, from this, create a vector-based WMF (Windows Metafile) file that you can then download and edit within vector file editors or use for high-definition printing applications. If you have multiple JPG files to convert, then our tool can also batch convert JPG files too. Currently, our tool supports up to 25 conversions at a time.

JPG to WMF Conversion Options

Mode

The Mode setting is used by the tool to inform it of the best way to vectorize the image by providing it with clues as to the type of image being submitted. The Auto mode attempts to find the most suitable settings for the image uploaded. There are, however, other options to help fine-tune this process, which we explain in more detail in the Tool Options section below.

Hole Reduction

With this setting, it is possible to reduce the inclusion of small holes within the final vector file caused by small, contrasting areas of the source JPG file, which can be useful in situations where the source image has not been optimized for use with the tool.

Merge Similar Colors

Use this value to merge similar colors; this is useful if the image is of low quality. A higher number can help reduce the effects of anti-aliasing in the JPG image.

Convert the Background Color to Transparent

When this setting is enabled, the JPG to WMF vectorizer tool will apply a transparent background to the resulting WMF file. Further options below help assist the tool in identifying the background color in the source JPG file.

Auto Detect Background Color

When this setting is enabled, the vectorizer tool will attempt to automatically determine the background color of the JPG image file and replace it with transparency in the final WMF file.

Specify Color #

If your source JPG image has a background color that our tool cannot identify, then you may specify the color manually here in the form of its hex color code.
