What are the benefits of using Vector Magic?
Vector Magic saves you time and frustration, while giving you better results than the alternatives.
-
No more tedious hand-tracing. Hand tracing can take hours per image and is a very tedious task.
Why not let Vector Magic do the work so you can focus your energy on better things?
-
Better accuracy. If you compare results from other tools side-by-side with those from Vector Magic,
you will notice that Vector Magic produces vectors that more closely resemble the input image. Finer
details in the shapes are recovered, and the curves are more faithful to the bitmap original.
-
Less cleanup required. Vector Magic's results have less noise, while still extracting more detail
from the bitmap original. Normally you'd have to spend a lot of time cleaning up the output
from an auto-tracer - with Vector Magic you can oftentimes use the result right away, and if it requires
cleanup then it's usually much less than what's required for the results from the competing tools.
-
Easier user interface with less trial-and-error. If you've used other tracing tools, you
have probably noticed that they have tons of confusing options and settings, and require you to
more or less randomly try different combinations of these in the frustrating search for a passable result.
With Vector Magic on the other hand, all you need to do is answer a couple of simple questions and
that's it. In case you're not satisfied with the result, there is even a
troubleshooting guide to help you resolve the problem - again phrased as simple
questions, not confusing options with unclear effects.
Which option should I choose?
We generally recommend either Online Unlimited or the Desktop Edition. Both allow you to vectorize
as much as you want, and let you take full advantage of all that Vector Magic has to offer.

Details
You can upload, vectorize, and preview images
without any commitment.
However, you need to either subscribe to Vector Magic Unlimited or
exchange 1 token for the vector results for which
you wish to enable downloading.
Alternatively, you can buy the Desktop Edition
and use the software on your own computer.
When signing up you get 2 free tokens.
There is a free version of the PNG (bitmap) result.
This version has a small mark in the corner
indicating that it was traced with Vector Magic. If you subscribe to Vector Magic Unlimited or exchange a token to download the vector results,
a version of the PNG without this mark is made available instead of the free one.
Enabling downloading for an image allows you to download the vectorized result in all
provided output formats.
You are free to re-vectorize the image until you are satisfied. Your image and associated result
will be available for at least 14 days from the
time you enable downloading, provided you do not delete them before that.
