A free Vector Magic alternative

How to use it

1. Drop in the logo or drawing you were going to vectorize.
2. Choose Logo or icon for flat artwork, or Black and white for line art.
3. Compare with the original and adjust colors, smoothing and specks.
4. Download the SVG.

Who should stay with Vector Magic

If you vectorize images every week, need EPS or batch processing, or want an offline desktop app, a paid tool pays for itself. This site is a better fit for the occasional job, where a subscription costs more than the file is worth.

Getting a good trace here

Start with the biggest, cleanest copy of the image. Use few colors for logos, and let the specks slider remove dust. If a curve looks lumpy, raise Smoothing. Compare against the original with the slider before you download, because that is where you notice a lost corner or a filled-in letter.

What the settings do

Style

Sets sensible starting values for the kind of image you have. You can still change every setting afterward.

Colors

How many flat colors the tracer keeps. Each color becomes one path in the SVG, so lower numbers give simpler files.

Smoothing

Higher values merge small bumps into smooth curves and shrink the file. Lower values follow the pixels more closely.

Remove small specks

Drops tiny shapes, such as dust or compression noise, below the size you choose.

Make white background transparent

Removes the white area connected to the edge of the image, so the SVG has no white box behind it.
