Image Vectorizer

Convert raster to vector easily!

Image Vectorizer allows you to convert JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, ICO, and GIF into high-quality vector graphics based on curves and Bezier lines. All elements of the vector image are saved in SVG format. This free web application works on any platform and offers convenient settings to achieve the perfect result. Use Image Vectorizer to get all the benefits of vector graphics!

Image Vectorizer offers various options for preprocessing bitmaps before saving them to vector format. You can customize:

- Maximum number of colors allows you to regulate a set of needed colors. Using this control, you can change any color and add or delete color if necessary.
- Smoothness allows for the production of a less pixelated image and improves the color transitions.
- Roundness contains borders circularity control. Smaller values produce sharper corners, and larger values produce smoother corners.
- Noise Reduction is used to reduce noise and unliked spots in the image.
- Stroke & Width allows making contour images with selected stroke-width and color.

Why is Image Vectorization needed?

Raster images consist of pixels and lose quality when enlarged. Vector graphics, on the other hand, are formed using mathematical formulas, commands, and coordinates, which allows them to be scaled without losing clarity. This makes them a great choice for logos, badges, icons, page layouts, technical drawings, diagrams, maps, graphs, line drawings, and illustrations. While vectorization is not suitable for photographs with smooth color transitions, it can create unique artistic effects that can be interesting and useful.

How does vectorization work?

The vectorization process involves color quantization, which reduces the number of shades to maintain visual similarity to the original. Color quantization plays an important role because it reduces the number of colors used, which significantly affects the size and quality of the result. The Vectorizer then analyzes the image and replaces all the same color spots or pixels with geometric shapes or curves using a set of contour tracing algorithms.
