About
Vectorizer.AI turns bitmap images into true vector artwork: real shapes, curves and corners rather than traced pixels, in your browser or through an API.
It is made by Cedar Lake Ventures, Inc., a small company in the Minneapolis area. Our work on automatic vectorization began as a research project at Stanford University more than 15 years ago.
How we do it
Every result comes from two pieces of technology we built ourselves. Deep learning networks, trained from scratch on our own dataset, read the image the way an illustrator would, and make sensible calls where the pixels are noisy, compressed or blurred.
Their output is rebuilt in the Vector Graph, our computational geometry framework, which keeps track of every boundary that neighboring shapes share. That lets us fit whole shapes, model corners and symmetry, and smooth curves without opening gaps between colors.

Your images
- You own your results. We claim no rights to your images or to the vectors we make from them.
- We don't share your images with anyone else unless you ask us to, for example when you send us one to look into a problem.
- We keep uploads and results for 24 hours, so you can come back to them, and then delete them.
- Our results may not be used to train machine learning models: our terms treat that as reverse engineering.
