Why we made Vectron

Three things we think every vectoriser should get right.

REASON ONE
Better tracing results
Real shapes and a clean wordmark, not grey blobs and a hole where your logo used to be.
REASON TWO
Ability to polish the result
Nine sliders let you nudge the result until it is right, instead of re-uploading and hoping.
REASON THREE
Free, with nothing held back
No paywall behind the good settings, and no watermark on what you export.
Pants down, cards on the table. Why is Vectron free?
  1. We built it because we needed it ourselves. And we're happy to share any progress.
  2. The main work was done by visioncortex vTracer, an open-source tracing engine.
  3. Everything happens in your browser, so nothing gets uploaded keeping hosting costs for us at a minimum.

Will it cope with a detailed illustration?

That’s where most tracers fall over. Vectron is a WebAssembly engine running on your own machine, so a busy illustration with hundreds of shapes comes back in a couple of seconds and keeps its layered colour.

  • Hundreds of shapes, layered colour, seconds not minutes
  • Compare before and after with a split, a fade or a flip
  • Zoom to 400% to check an edge before you download
  • Works offline once the page has loaded

What if the trace comes back wrong?

Then you fix it. Nine sliders named after what they do to your picture rather than what they do to the engine, each showing three thumbnails of the result before you commit.

How many colours
Flat · Balanced · Every shade
Two or three for a flat logo. Six or more for a painted illustration.
Ignore tiny specks
Keep everything · Tidy up · Scrub clean
Raise it for a phone photo of a whiteboard. Leave it low if paper grain matters.
Sharp corners or soft curves
All corners · Mixed · All curves
Low keeps the points of a star or a letterform. High rounds everything off.
Smooth out the jaggies
Raw · Smooth · Very smooth
Push it up for a low-res screenshot. Too high and thin serifs melt away.

How long does this take you?

About as long as reading this. Three moves, and the download is a plain SVG that opens anywhere.

Start tracing
  1. 1
    Drop the file in
    One image or forty. Tracing starts straight away, in this tab.
  2. 2
    Say what it is
    Logo, photo, sketch, sprite, scan. That is usually the whole job.
  3. 3
    Check it, then download
    Compare against the original, tune anything that bothers you, save the SVG.

Still hesitating?

Free at the download button. The tracer runs on your own machine, so there is no server bill to recover — no account, no credits, no watermark, no export cap.

PNG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP and BMP, up to 8000 × 8000 pixels. Transparency survives the trace, and a photo background can be dropped out with one toggle.

Yes — it is a plain SVG of filled paths, so every shape is selectable and recolourable. For a cutter, stencil or embroidery machine, trace it as a single colour instead.

That is what the fine tuning is for. Detailed artwork keeps its colour layers, and a photograph can go anywhere from a faithful trace to flat poster bands depending on how many colours you allow.

Drop all forty in. They queue and trace one after another, one tuned set of settings can be applied to the whole batch, and a single button exports every SVG.

Nowhere. The tracer is WebAssembly running in a worker in this tab, so once the page has loaded you can go offline and it still works. Nothing is stored, so there is nothing to delete.

Know exactly what you are converting?

Same tracer, with the settings and the advice already pointed at the job.

Got that file open in another tab?

Drag it over. Worst case you’ve lost ten seconds and learned what your artwork looks like in vectors.
