JPG to SVG API: Convert JPG Graphics into Scalable Vectors

Authentication

Every request is authenticated with your Pixazo API key in the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header — the same key across every Pixazo endpoint.

JPG to SVG generate request

A JPG stores an image as compressed pixels, which means artifacts around sharp edges and no way to scale up cleanly, an awkward starting point when the graphic is really a logo or icon. Converting to SVG rebuilds the shape as vector geometry that stays crisp at any dimension and becomes editable in any vector tool. Pixazo's /media-tools/v1/image-vectorize endpoint reduces the JPG to black-and-white and traces the resulting outlines into SVG paths. Expect strong results on solid marks, wordmarks, and line art, and weak results on photographic JPGs, where compression noise and continuous tone defeat the tracer. Submit a job, receive a request_id, and collect the SVG when it finishes.

Endpoint: POST https://gateway.pixazo.ai/media-tools/v1/image-vectorize

Request Code

curl -X POST 'https://gateway.pixazo.ai/media-tools/v1/image-vectorize' \
  -H 'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"image_url":"https://example.com/input.jpg","mode":"spline"}'

Output

{
  "request_id": "req_9f3c1a7b2e",
  "status": "QUEUED",
  "polling_url": "https://gateway.pixazo.ai/v2/requests/status/req_9f3c1a7b2e"
}

Webhook (Optional)

Instead of polling, include a webhook_url in the request body and Pixazo will POST the completed job payload to that URL when the conversion finishes. The webhook body is identical to the completed-status response shown under Retrieving Results.

Response

Every request returns a request_id immediately with a QUEUED status. Use the polling_url (or a webhook) to retrieve the finished file.

{
  "request_id": "req_9f3c1a7b2e",
  "status": "QUEUED",
  "polling_url": "https://gateway.pixazo.ai/v2/requests/status/req_9f3c1a7b2e"
}

Request Headers

Response Handling

The submit call returns one of the HTTP status codes below. A 202 means the job was accepted — everything else is an error you should handle.

Error Responses

Errors return a JSON body with a machine-readable code and a human-readable message.

{
  "request_id": "req_9f3c1a7b2e",
  "status": "FAILED",
  "error": {
    "code": "INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE",
    "message": "Your account balance is too low to process this request."
  }
}

Retrieving Results

Poll the status endpoint until the job reaches COMPLETED (or FAILED).

curl 'https://gateway.pixazo.ai/v2/requests/status/req_9f3c1a7b2e' \
  -H 'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: YOUR_API_KEY'
