About This App

A comprehensive image tracing studio that converts raster images (PNG, JPG, WebP) into clean, scalable vector graphics (SVG) with professional-grade accuracy. Features five tracing algorithms: binary threshold, CIELAB color quantization, Canny edge detection, centerline skeleton tracing, and brightness posterization. The Potrace-inspired engine uses Suzuki-Abe contour extraction with sub-pixel interpolation, optimal polygon fitting via dynamic programming, corner-vs-curve classification, and least-squares cubic Bezier fitting for smooth, precise paths. Adaptive Sauvola thresholding handles uneven lighting. Anti-alias aware color separation traces through AA centers. Render-back validation with PSNR/SSIM scoring and automatic re-tracing of problem areas ensures near-zero misses. Includes seven presets (Photo, Logo, Sketch, Cartoon, Silhouette, Technical, Custom), interactive preprocessing (brightness, contrast, blur, sharpen), post-trace node editing, boolean path operations, color intelligence with gradient detection, batch processing, and export to SVG, PNG, PDF, DXF, CSS clip-path, icon font, and more.

How to Use

  1. 1 Drop an image (PNG, JPG, WebP) or paste from clipboard (Ctrl+V)
  2. 2 Select a tracing preset (Photo, Logo, Sketch, Cartoon, Silhouette, Technical, Custom)
  3. 3 Watch progressive refinement: instant preview, draft, full trace, validated result
  4. 4 Fine-tune parameters: colors, smoothness, detail, threshold, corner sharpness, turnpolicy
  5. 5 Use preprocessing if needed: brightness, contrast, blur, sharpen, crop, rotate
  6. 6 Compare original vs result with side-by-side, overlay, split, or difference views
  7. 7 Check fidelity heatmap to verify tracing accuracy (green = perfect, red = needs work)
  8. 8 Edit paths post-trace: select, delete, recolor, merge, boolean ops, node editing
  9. 9 Export as SVG, PNG, PDF, DXF, CSS clip-path, icon font, or animated SVG
  10. 10 Save projects for later, batch-trace multiple images, or process sprite sheets
