Convert Images to Vectors Online

Uploading and previewing are free, for as many images as you like. Downloading the result needs a subscription, except for our example images, which you can download for free.

Yes. Download DXF or SVG, and choose the Cutting & engraving preset to get outlines drawn as thin strokes. For DXF you can also pick the curve types your machine software supports.

Built-in auto-trace outlines regions of pixels, which tends to produce wobbly edges and far more anchor points than the artwork needs. We use AI to read the image and then fit real geometry: whole shapes, clean corners, and curves that neighboring shapes share exactly.

The AI. We've been working in this space for more than 15 years and adding Deep Learning AI has been a game changer. It is able to tease out details that traditional methods miss, and it makes sensible guesses when the pixels are a mess. We developed the Deep Learning models for this product fully in-house, and they are trained on our own proprietary dataset.

Beyond the AI there's a lot of things we do to clean up and improve the output of the AI vectorizer. This includes fitting whole geometric shapes, cleaning up corners, tangent matching, curve fairing, and many more. Our Vector Graph allows us to make these changes while keeping neighboring shapes perfectly aligned, a common pitfall for other image vectorizers.

When you are looking for an online tool to help you convert a JPG or PNG to vector, you will find a number of options on the web. Most of them are based on the same old algorithms that have been around for decades, and they frankly don't work very well. Vectorizer.AI is a new approach to vectorization, and the results speak for themselves.

We currently support PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, and WebP as input, and produce SVG, EPS, DXF, and PDF vector output, and "cleaned up" PNG pixel output.

If you have a file format that you would like us to support, please let us know.

The max image pixel size is 3 megapixels. The max image file size is 30 megabytes.

We support full 32-bit ARGB input, so both full and partial transparency work well.

Vector images are composed of geometric shapes, and can be scaled to any size without loss of quality. They are commonly used for printed graphics, and increasingly for web graphics, now that high-DPI screens are becoming the norm and browser support for SVG images has become ubiquitous. They are also necessary for some types of printing processes, such as laser engraving, vinyl cutting, and screen printing.

Vector graphics are also useful because they can be easily edited and changed in a vector editor. In contrast, bitmap images are difficult and time consuming to edit because the graphics present in the image have been flattened down one or more layers of pixels. Editing pixels is tedious, it is easy to make mistakes, and the process often leaves small defects or artifacts behind.

Most likely, yes. However, as always, the devil is in the details. That is why we provide you with a free, interactive preview so that you can see what you're going to get before you buy.

Yes, in fact they seem to be a popular category, and we've been pleased to see how well our algorithm works on those images!

Our results follow the respective file format standards, and work with all standards-compliant readers.

That said, not all vector software is fully standards compliant. We therefore offer a host of download options that allow you to customize the output to maximize compatibility. For example, you can control the file format version, the types of curves that are used, and much more.

We also let you download the result from any of our example images for free so that you can try them out with your software before you buy.

Yes, there is a huge difference between vectorizing a bitmap and just embedding it in a vector file.

The process of automatically converting bitmap images into vector art is called a variety of things, including vectorizing, vectoring, tracing, bitmap to vector, raster to vector, convert to vector, and probably many others. This process involves detecting the shapes in the image, fitting curves to them, and exporting the result as a vector file. The end result does not contain any pixel data and can be scaled to any size without loss of quality.

But vector files can also just contain copies of bitmaps inside of them, and putting a bitmap into a vector file is called embedding. Some services just embed, but Vectorizer.AI does actual vectorization.

Our terms of service just grant us the rights we need to deliver the service to you, and to improve our products. We don't claim any rights to the vectorized results, and we won't share your images with third parties unless you explicitly authorize us to do so.

Please see our Terms of Service for more details.

Right now, we retain uploaded images and results for 24 hours, and permanently delete them shortly thereafter. Please note that our data retention policies may change over time, and this current policy does not bind us in the future, or require your affirmative consent to change.

No, you may not use the output of our service for training machine learning models, including deep learning models. We view this as a form of reverse engineering, and it is explicitly prohibited by our terms of service. If you are not sure whether your intended use is allowed, please reach out and we'll be happy to clarify.
