#Inkscape turn image into vector install#

Super Vectorizer - Chrome wouldn't allow me to download the free trial (came up with a security warning of some sort), so nope.Īutotrace - no updates on that page since 2004. The links provided elsewhere here take you to a site with the correct name, but I couldn't get to any kind of software info or download screen. Intaglio Vectorize - I wish I could try it, but the developer seems to have closed up shop.

Even though the MacOS version they offer is from 8/2021, my OS wouldn't let me install it. I'm pretty good with geeky stuff, but using command line to do this was a bit over my head without help, and the links to tutorials that I tried on their page are defunct now.ĭragPotrace - downloaded from the Japanese page linked. Potrace - An old script? command line tool that many other software apps seem to use. What didn't work for me (Obsolete, couldn't download, too expensive, etc):

I tested using a 250x250px and a 500x500px version of this logo, designed to have lots of thin pointy bits that tracing software has a hard time with: I also sometimes need to convert hand drawn sketches. I occasionally need to convert clients' logos from whatever low-res png or jpeg they have available to vector, that's my main use case. I will not be using this to make vector paintings out of photos or anything like that. I should probably mention I'm using a Mac on Monterey (12.2.1). I've especially seen this list a few places, but a few of the options there seem to be obsolete now: I thought I'd share my results, as some of the most recent recommendations I could find on this seem to be a little out of date. I was doing some research today, looking for a low cost or free solution to create vector files from png & jpg files on the latest Mac OS, and one that works with Designer.
