What VectorMagik is built for

VectorMagik is made by the team that publishes this site. A setting merges neighbouring curve sections, and an automatic option picks the largest amount of merging that keeps the picture [1]. After converting, you can move or delete the points on curves and round individual corners [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]. You can compare the vector with the original picture side by side, or flip between them with the B and V keys [1]. It can add an outline for cutting stickers, with a border, a white rim and an optional drop shadow [1]. A command-line version does the same work without a window and lets an AI assistant trace pictures on your computer [1].

Things to check before you choose

Ask whether you need a browser version, since VectorMagik has one [1]. Ask whether you need a version without a window that an AI assistant can use [1]. Ask whether the business use terms of VectorMagik fit your work, because business use needs a licence [1]. For VectorStyler's drawing features, check its own page, because the facts gathered here do not describe them. Ask whether the 14 day money-back guarantee [2] gives you enough time to decide.
