The short answer

VectorMagik traces a picture into vector shapes using its own engine. [1] It can save the result as SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, DXF, EMF or PNG. [1]

Vectorizer.io's page says that vectorizing a dot picture turns the colour of each dot into simple shapes. [2] The same page says a raster image is a picture made of tiny dots, each with its own colour. [2]

Check which file types you need and what each one costs before you choose. The table above sets out what each source says about both.

What Vectorizer.io is built for

Vectorizer.io's page is about turning pixel images into vector graphics. It describes a raster image as a picture made of tiny dots, each with its own colour. [2] It says that vectorizing a dot picture turns the colour of each dot into simple shapes. [2]

Before you upload a picture, check the file types you need against the table above.

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. [1] A tolerance slider merges neighbouring curve pieces, and Auto picks the largest tolerance that keeps the picture. [1] You can move or delete curve nodes and round individual corners after converting. [1]

You can limit the result to between 1 and 64 colours. [1] You can click shapes to delete them, such as a background, or merge two shades into one. [1] It can add a die-cut sticker outline with a border, white rim and optional drop shadow. [1] You can compare the vector with the bitmap side by side, or flip between them with B and V keys. [1]

A command-line version does the same work without a window, and an AI assistant can use it to trace pictures on your computer. [1]
