Is the SVG a real vector?

Yes. The download is curve paths. The photo is not pasted inside the file, and a file with no paths is refused.

Will a photo look drawn?

No. The tracer follows color shapes. Flat art stays cleaner than a photograph.

No. The quality slider is a lossy encode. Choose SVG vector when the file has to stay sharp as it grows.

JPEG to SVG

Turn a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC into an SVG of curves, or into a PNG, JPEG, or WebP.

SVG vector is curve paths with no photo inside the file. A photograph becomes shapes, not a hand drawing. PNG, JPEG, and WebP stay pictures. HEIC works only when the file can be decoded here.

Drop a JPEG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC. SVG vector is selected first. Make vector SVG traces the picture into curves and refuses the file if it only contains a pasted photo. Zooming that SVG does not turn it into blocks. A photograph becomes many shapes, not a drawing made by hand. PNG, JPEG, and WebP are still available when you need a picture instead of curves.
