Version 1.0.2 · What's new

Why a vector

Sharp at any size.

Blow a picture up and its pixels turn to blocks. A vector redraws every curve, crisp on a phone or a van.

What it does

From picture to finished file.

The logo's petals traced into curves, every node shown

Curves you can edit

Drag a point, round a corner or delete a shape. Ctrl+Z undoes anything.

FAQ

Questions.

Anything else? Write to us.

Is it free?

Yes, for personal and noncommercial use. Work use is $9 a month per person, and anything that earns money counts as work, even a one-person shop such as an Etsy store.

What can I open and save?

Open PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, Photoshop, SVG, PDF, AI or EPS files, several at once if you like. Save SVG, PDF, EPS, Illustrator (AI), DXF for CAD and cutters, EMF for Office, or a PNG at any size.

Can an AI assistant use it?

Yes. The desktop engine is an MCP server: add the engine to Claude, Cursor or another assistant with --mcp, and it can trace pictures on your computer.

Does anything leave my computer?

Your pictures never do: the desktop app and the browser version both convert on your own computer. The desktop app sends anonymous usage counts (that it started, and the type of each file saved), and the website counts visits. The privacy page lists exactly what.

Browser or desktop: what is the difference?

They are the same app, and both work offline: the browser version once it has opened there with a connection. The desktop app, for Windows, Mac and Linux, adds a command line, pictures up to 100 megapixels (50 in a browser) and, on Windows, dragging files out.

Try it on your own picture.
