Raster to vector, magically
Vector Magic automatically converts JPG, PNG, GIF bitmaps to PDF, SVG, EPS vectors. Quickly get your artwork ready to print, embroider, cut, and more with the world's best full-color auto-tracer!
Vectorize Image
JPG, PNG, BMP, and GIF images up to 1 megapixel
Each pair below is a published example: the original pixels on the left, the vector result on the right, zoomed in so you can see the edges.
Upload a raster image and we automatically figure out what settings to use and trace the image for you.
You can review the vector result, tweak the settings and even edit the result, all within the same tool.
The result is delivered in SVG, EPS, and PDF formats. The desktop edition also produces AI and DXF.
Vector Magic carefully traces out every bit of information available in your image, slicing each edge pixel at precisely the right spot to re-create the intention of your original.
Vector Magic is a breath of fresh air, intelligently selecting the right number of nodes to use, and placing them at excellent locations.
Vector Magic always traces your bitmap, carefully teasing out the underlying shapes in it, and provides you with a real vector image with all of its benefits.
Vector Magic analyzes your image and automatically detects appropriate settings to vectorize it with, and then goes ahead and traces out the underlying shapes in full color. This makes getting started a real breeze: just upload your image and presto, a result to review!
Read the full tutorialYou can eliminate unwanted shapes, connect shapes that have been separated, fix broken lines, and separate shapes that should not be touching, all in the form of an easy-to-use pixel-style editor.

Vector images consist of shapes like circles, rectangles, lines and curves, while bitmap images, also known as raster images, consist of a grid of pixels. Vectorization or tracing is the process of taking a bitmap image and re-drawing it as a vector image.
The shapes in vector images allow computers to do things that cannot be done with raster images, like scale them to any size without loss of quality and using them to e.g. cut, sew, paint, and laser engrave.

Your product is AMAZING!
Vector Magic has become one of my most frequently (and secretly...) used tools. It's been invaluable in many projects and I love the ease of use and accuracy. Top job and thanks!
I continue to marvel at just how good this software is ... everything from the clear and simple user interface to the startling results are a joy to find.
AI and DXF require the Desktop Edition
Officially supported input file formats are: JPG, PNG, BMP, and GIF bitmap images using the sRGB color space. That said, we do our best to accept any image format your browser can read. CMYK input gets converted to sRGB.
The maximum allowed image size is 1 megapixel, regardless of aspect ratio. Images larger than the size limit will be shrunk to that size. Note that this is pixels, not bytes, and there is currently no image byte size limitation.
Officially supported browsers are the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge running on modern desktops and laptops, though other modern browsers may also work.
