Vector Magic

Vector Magic is an automatic image vectorizer that converts JPG, PNG, BMP and GIF bitmaps into full-color SVG, EPS and PDF vector graphics. It gets logos and illustrations ready for print, embroidery, vinyl cutting or engraving without hand-tracing every shape.

What is Vector Magic used for?

It rescues logos or drawings you only have in low resolution. Upload the image, the tool picks suitable settings automatically and traces shapes with sub-pixel precision, choosing a sensible number of nodes. Unlike software that just embeds the bitmap inside a vector file, Vector Magic actually traces the shapes, so the output scales without losing sharpness.

How does Vector Magic work online and on desktop?

The flow is three steps: upload, review and download. Before downloading you can tweak settings and use a pixel-style segmentation editor to remove stray shapes, join separated pieces or fix broken lines. The online edition runs in the browser and delivers SVG, EPS and PDF; the desktop edition adds an advanced mode, very large images, batch processing, grouping by color and AI and DXF output. It's available in English, German, Spanish and French.

Who is Vector Magic for?

• Print and screen-printing shops receiving low-quality logos.
• Embroidery and vinyl-cutting shops that need clean paths.
• Designers who want to skip hours of manual tracing.
• Small businesses that only have their logo as a JPG.

Vector Magic pros and cons

Pros: very faithful automatic tracing, a built-in editor and unlimited previews. Cons: downloads require payment, the online edition accepts images up to 2 megapixels, and complex photos produce heavy vectors that aren't always worth it.
