Vector Magic
Vector Magic converts bitmap images into vector graphics through a browser-based tool or desktop application. The online edition accepts JPG, PNG, BMP, and GIF files and exports SVG, EPS, and PDF. The desktop edition adds AI and DXF output and can convert images offline. The tracing process detects settings automatically and renders in full color, after which users can review results, adjust settings, and edit them. Desktop tools include advanced vectorization controls, batch processing, transparency support, and copy-paste or drag-and-drop workflows with graphics software such as Illustrator and CorelDRAW. Desktop image limits are 20 megapixels on Windows and 5 megapixels on Mac. Online users can upload, convert, and preview without commitment, but need a subscription to download results. The desktop trial allows previews but disables saving until activated with a purchased license. Online Edition costs $9.95 a month; Desktop Edition costs $295, paid once for one user on two computers, with the same license for PC and Mac.
