SVGify

A small web service to create threshold svgs for pictures. Why would you use it? maybe you can upload images in your CMS, and you want great UX while loading huge images.

The service also shrinks the images, and since SVGs are vector graphics, you can scale it up to the original size yourself. So the difference is much higher.

Usage:

curl localhost:3000 -X POST --data-binary "@clem-onojeghuo-picture.jpg"  > clem-onojeghuo-picture.svg

I just wrote a small service that does whatever @medatech wrote on his tweet did.
