Question 1

How is this different from Vectorizer.AI and similar services?

Accepted Answer

We trace the image with an algorithm right in your browser: files never leave your device, but it isn't a neural network. For logos, icons and flat graphics the result is clean; for photos, complex gradients and fine hatching, server-side neural services give noticeably better results.

Question 2

Which images vectorise best?

Accepted Answer

Logos, icons, signatures, line drawings and flat illustrations with a limited palette — best at high resolution. Small or heavily compressed JPEGs can be processed too: we upscale them and remove noise, but that can't bring back lost detail.

Question 3

Are my files uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Vectorising runs in your browser (VTracer in WebAssembly) and the file is never sent anywhere. Only the engine itself, about 130 KB, is fetched from the network.

Question 4

Can I edit the result in Illustrator, Figma or Inkscape?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SVG opens in every vector editor, with each colour as a separate group of outlines. It is still tracing, though: outlines may be less tidy than hand-drawn ones, and text becomes curves.
