Glorp
GLORP converts raster pixel art into optimized SVG files while preserving clean edges and colors, according to its project page.
About Glorp
GLORP is a desktop application built with Python and PySide6 that converts raster pixel art into SVG vector files. It is listed on GitHub and also offers a web version at glorp.art that runs without installation. A Windows desktop version is available for local processing.
You can add images by button or drag and drop, hover to preview them, choose an output folder, and select a conversion mode. Monolith mode merges adjacent pixels of the same color into compact path elements for smaller, editable SVGs. Lego mode creates one 1x1 rect per pixel, and WebP mode exports a lossless raster file with transparency preserved. Batch conversion runs in a separate thread so the interface stays responsive.
It suits pixel artists, indie developers, and UI designers who need sharp scaling for print items or web use. Input should be native-resolution PNGs with hard edges and nearest-neighbor scaling. It is not intended for photographs, gradients, blurred images, or anti-aliased illustrations.

Glorp FAQ
What does GLORP do?
It converts raster pixel art into SVG vector files with preserved edges, colors and transparency. It also exports lossless WebP files.
What is the difference between Monolith and Lego modes?
Monolith merges adjacent same-color pixels into compact path elements for smaller files. Lego creates an individual 1x1 rect for each pixel, which results in larger files.
What kind of images work best with GLORP?
Native-resolution PNGs with hard edges, RGBA transparency and nearest-neighbor scaling. Photos, gradients, blurred images and anti-aliased illustrations are not intended for conversion.
How can I access GLORP?
You can use the web version at glorp.art without installation, download the Windows desktop version, or run glorp.py with Python 3.10+, PySide6 and Pillow.
