How it works

  1. Drop a PNG, JPG or WebP image, or a photo of a drawing, onto the canvas.
  2. Pick a trace mode: color for full-color artwork, silhouette for a single cut outline, or centerline for line art and engraving paths.
  3. Adjust threshold, curve smoothing and minimum area until the preview matches your artwork; the trace re-runs as you tune.
  4. 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.
