VectorIt
VectorIt is a free, open-source desktop app for converting raster images into vector graphics. It accepts PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF files and exports SVG, EPS, PDF, or DXF. It can also re-rasterize vectors as PNG, BMP, or JPEG at any resolution. Presets and live controls cover colors, smoothness, corner threshold, speckle filtering, and path mode; a segmentation editor lets users paint, split, and merge regions before vectorization, with undo. Images can be pasted with Ctrl+V, and Ctrl+S re-exports with the last-used settings. For images above 20 megapixels, VectorIt downsamples for analysis and uses full resolution for export. It runs offline without internet, accounts, or telemetry, and says users’ pixels stay on their machines. The maker identifies the app as Apache-2.0 licensed and describes an installer of about 5 MB. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux; macOS builds are not signed or notarized and may trigger a developer verification warning on first launch.
