What is JPG?
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely supported photo format. It uses lossy compression to make small files, but it has no transparency.
What is AI?
AI is the working format of Adobe Illustrator. Modern AI files contain a PDF-compatible copy of the artwork, which is what makes them viewable outside Illustrator. Here you get an Illustrator-compatible file with your picture placed inside it.
Tips for converting JPG to AI
The picture is embedded, not traced. Use Image Trace in Illustrator if you need editable vector shapes.
Need a different format?

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert JPG to AI?
Add your JPG file with the button above or drop it on the page, check that AI is selected, press Convert and download the file.
Does converting JPG to AI reduce quality?
AI does not lose detail through compression, so the conversion does not reduce quality. What the result can show is limited by what JPG contained.
Are my JPG files uploaded?
No. The file is read and converted by your own browser. It never leaves your device, so private documents and client work stay private.
Can I convert many JPG files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like. Each one is converted and you can download them one by one or all together as a ZIP.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no limit set by us. Very large files depend on the memory of your device and browser, so convert huge files on a desktop or laptop.
