Download a copy of Inkscape, from Google search.

1.   Install Inkscape on the computer. Mac users with systems older than 10.4 may need to install X11

2.   Open the .JPG. In the Inkscape menu, "Open" and navigate to your .JPG

3.   Open the conversion tool. From the main menu, select "Path" and "Trace Bitmap."

4.   Click on the "Update" button in the "Trace Bitmap" box.
