How it works
- Drop a PNG, JPG or WebP image, or a photo of a drawing, onto the canvas.
- Pick a trace mode: color for full-color artwork, silhouette for a single cut outline, or centerline for line art and engraving paths.
- Adjust threshold, curve smoothing and minimum area until the preview matches your artwork; the trace re-runs as you tune.
- Export the result as SVG, DXF, EPS, PDF, or GRBL G-code for a laser or pen plotter.
What people use it for
- Turning a logo or sketch into clean, editable vector paths for print or cutting.
- Preparing cut outlines for a Cricut, Silhouette, or laser cutter.
- Generating a toolpath for a GRBL laser engraver or pen plotter straight from an image.
Good to know
- Tracing is bitmap-based: a blurry or heavily compressed photo produces noisier paths than a clean, high-contrast image.
- Color mode adds a path layer per color — very photographic images can create large, complex SVGs; reduce the color count for cutting.
- G-code output uses the machine profile you pick; always dry-run or preview the toolpath before cutting real material.
Frequently asked questions
Does my image get uploaded anywhere?
No. The vectorizer runs entirely in your browser using canvas and WebAssembly — the image never leaves your device, so there is nothing to upload and nothing stored on a server.
What is the difference between silhouette and centerline?
Silhouette traces the outer boundary of a shape (one closed outline — ideal for cutting). Centerline follows the middle of each stroke (open paths — ideal for engraving line art and single-line fonts).
Can I edit the SVG afterwards?
Yes. The exported SVG is standard vector geometry you can open and edit in Inkscape, Illustrator, or any SVG editor.
