Turn artwork
into SVGs

Keep smooth gradients

Shaded logos and illustrations can keep their smooth color transitions as SVG gradients. VectorFox supports both linear and radial gradients, so highlights and shadows can stay shaded when you resize the artwork.

• Adjacent color bands can share a gradient to reduce visible seams
• Layered export keeps gradients for editing; Cut File converts them to flat colors

Keep straight edges and sharp corners

Buildings, geometric logos, and pixel art need straight lines. VectorFox preserves those edges and corners while still tracing curved outlines.

• Square windows and pixel steps keep their corners
• Thin details, such as twigs and whiskers, are better preserved

Adjust settings and see the result

Move a slider and the preview updates while you drag. VectorFox uses a smaller preview during adjustments, then traces the full image when you release the slider.

• Saving always uses the full-resolution result
• Each result keeps its tracing settings while the app is open

Presets for logos, illustration, and AI art

Choose AI Art for generated illustrations, Logo for simpler artwork, or Clean Bands for a poster effect. Balanced is the default and keeps similar colors and soft shadows distinct.

• A Good, Fair, or Poor rating explains how well an image is likely to trace
• You can skip unsuitable images in a batch or convert them anyway

Clean up small images before tracing

Enhance enlarges small images and reduces soft edges and JPEG noise before tracing. It works best on logos, flat illustrations, and AI artwork.

• Runs locally on images up to 1024 pixels when using 2× Upscale
• Optional and off by default; best left off for pixel art and photographs

SVGs that are easier to edit

VectorFox groups artwork by color, removes hidden pieces, and simplifies curves. You get fewer paths and control points to work through in your vector editor.

• The Info tab shows path, node, and color counts
• Large results include a suggestion for a more suitable preset

Remove the background first

Remove a plain background before tracing, including enclosed gaps such as the middle of a letter O. Use Subject only to isolate the main subject from a more complex background.

Export for cutters or vector editors

Use Outline for unfilled cutting paths, Cut File for flat colors arranged in layers, or Layered for editing with gradients intact. You can apply the same export profile to a whole batch.

More control over black-and-white traces

Choose whether to trace the dark or light areas, then adjust the threshold. Adaptive threshold helps with unevenly lit scans, and transparent backgrounds stay transparent.
