The short answer

CorelDRAW is professional graphic design software that includes tools for vector illustration, layout, photo editing and typography. [1] Vectorizer.AI produces SVG, EPS, DXF and PDF vector output online. [2] VectorMagik traces a picture into vector shapes using its own engine and saves the result as SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, DXF, EMF or PNG. [3] [3]

If you need a full design suite, CorelDRAW's source says it covers vector illustration, layout, photo editing and typography. [1] If you need an online image-to-vector converter, Vectorizer.AI's source says it produces SVG, EPS, DXF and PDF vector output. [2] If you need to trace a bitmap into editable vector curves and export as DXF, VectorMagik says it does that. [3] [3] The two rival tools cover different needs: CorelDRAW's source describes graphic design software, and Vectorizer.AI's source describes a tool that runs in the browser. [1] [2]

What CorelDRAW, Vectorizer.AI is built for

CorelDRAW's page calls its Graphics Suite professional graphic design software. [1] It says the suite includes tools for vector illustration, layout, photo editing and typography. [1]

CorelDRAW states that CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is available for Windows, Mac, and Web. [1]

Vectorizer.AI says no software installation is required because everything runs in the browser. [2] It supports PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP and WebP as input formats. [2] It produces SVG, EPS, DXF and PDF vector output, and also cleaned up PNG pixel output. [2] [2]

What VectorMagik is built for

VectorMagik is made by the team that publishes this site. It traces a picture into vector shapes using its own engine. [3] You can save the result as SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, DXF, EMF or PNG. [3]

A tolerance slider merges neighbouring curve pieces, and Auto picks the largest tolerance that keeps the picture. [3] You can move or delete curve nodes and round individual corners after converting. [3] You can limit the result to between 1 and 64 colours. [3] You can click shapes to delete them, such as a background, or merge two shades into one. [3]

It can add a die-cut sticker outline with a border, white rim and optional drop shadow. [3] You can compare the vector with the bitmap side by side, or flip between them with B and V keys. [3] A command-line version does the same work without a window and lets an AI assistant trace pictures on your computer. [3] A version runs in the web browser using the same engine. [3]
