Image to vector

Edge Detection

Outline-only tracing of image edges.

How it works

01

Drop an image

PNG, JPG or WebP. Logos, hand-drawn lettering and scans trace best.

02

Tune the threshold

Dark pixels become filled shapes. Slide the threshold until the preview matches the artwork, then remove specks.

03

Set size and export

Choose the real output width; nodes are simplified so the file cuts smoothly.

Common questions

Why does my photo look like a blob?

Tracing is two-tone. Photos need a clear subject on a plain background; use the silhouette preset or clean the image first.

Does it trace colours?

This tool traces one colour at a time. Colour separation is on the roadmap; for now, trace each colour with different thresholds.

Is the image uploaded anywhere?

No — tracing runs entirely in your browser with Potrace compiled to WebAssembly.
