The short answer

Vectorizer.AI turns PNG, JPG, GIF and WebP pictures into SVG, EPS, DXF and PDF vector files, and it does this online. ^[1] Vectorizer.io turns PNG, BMP and JPEG pictures into scalable vector files in SVG, EPS and DXF. ^[2] VectorMagik traces a picture into vector shapes using its own engine, and you can save the result as SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, DXF, EMF or PNG. ^[3] ^[3]

If you want to work in a browser with nothing installed, Vectorizer.AI's page says no software installation is required, because everything runs in the browser. ^[1] If you want a program on your own computer, VectorMagik has downloads for Windows x64, macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Linux x64, plus a browser version. ^[3]

Which one fits depends on the formats you need. Check your formats against each tool's list before you choose.

What Vectorizer.AI, Vectorizer.io is built for

Vectorizer.AI's page says no software installation is required, because everything runs directly in the browser. ^[1] It produces SVG, EPS, DXF and PDF vector output. ^[1] It converts PNG, JPG, GIF and WebP images to those vector formats online. ^[1]

Vectorizer.io's page says it converts raster images like PNGs, BMPs and JPEGs to scalable vector graphics in SVG, EPS and DXF. ^[2] Its page also says that entering your email address gives you a one-time sign-in code by email. ^[2] Check its page for anything beyond these steps before you rely on it.

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]

A setting merges neighbouring curve pieces to simplify the result, and an automatic option picks the strongest merge that keeps the picture. ^[3] After converting, you can move or delete the points that shape the curves, and round individual corners. ^[3] You can limit the result to between 1 and 64 colours. ^[3]

For cutting stickers, it can add a die-cut outline with a border, white rim and optional drop shadow. ^[3] You can click shapes to delete them, such as a background, or merge two shades into one. ^[3] You can compare the vector with the bitmap side by side, or flip between them with B and V keys. ^[3]

Pricing and fees

No price for Vectorizer.AI or Vectorizer.io is published in the sources used here, and the same goes for any card fee or add-on fee. Check each tool's own page for current pricing before you decide.

VectorMagik is free for everyone, but business use needs a licence. ^[3] The product is licensed under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0. ^[3] Its card fee is not published.

Setting it up and printing

Printing and slicer use are not covered for Vectorizer.AI or Vectorizer.io here, so check each tool's own page before you rely on it for those jobs.

Things to check before you choose

Ask which file formats you need, and check them against each tool's outputs. Vectorizer.AI's page lists SVG, EPS, DXF and PDF. ^[1] VectorMagik can save SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, DXF, EMF or PNG. ^[3]

Ask whether a browser tool suits your work. Vectorizer.AI runs in the browser with no software to install. ^[1] VectorMagik also has a browser version. ^[3]

Ask about the price and licence for the use you have in mind. VectorMagik is free for everyone, but business use needs a licence. ^[3] For Vectorizer.AI and Vectorizer.io, read each tool's own page on pricing.

Read each tool's own page on how it handles uploaded pictures and the results it makes, since that matters if your pictures are private.
