EdgeSVG vs Vectorization.eu

EdgeSVG converts raster images into SVG vector graphics using an open-source vectorization engine. Its automatic mode categorizes an image as a logo, icon, illustration, or photo, then selects a tracing approach. Other documented modes include convert, logo, premium, auto, smart, and optimal; smart mode searches iteratively within SSIM and file-size constraints. Output scoring covers similarity, edge alignment, foreground overlap, topology, file size, and path counts. The project offers Rust, Python, Node.js, command-line, and WebAssembly interfaces under a shared response contract. Its WebAssembly engine runs in the browser without a server or uploads, according to the maker. Batch processing handles directories and can produce JSON and Markdown reports with per-image scores and summaries. CI/CD examples cover GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Docker, and pre-commit hooks. EdgeSVG is free and published under the Apache 2.0 license, with Linux, macOS, Windows, and web support. It is neither a hosted API nor a GUI design tool.

Vectorization.eu converts bitmap images into scalable vector files through a web tool, with an API for batch processing. The converter accepts JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF, WEBP, AVIF, and HEIC inputs and lists EPS, PS, PDF, DXF, and SVG as outputs. Its full-color tracing controls include clustering, curve fitting, color precision, gradient steps, speckle filtering, corner threshold, segment length, and splice threshold. The site recommends images around 1000px or no larger than 1MB for best results.

Listed applications range from logos and screen printing to vinyl cutting, embroidery, digital printing, laser cutting, engraving, CNC, and 3D printing. The API can be integrated into a website or application for customer-file processing and batch conversion; listed tools and languages include cURL, Java,.NET, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby. Free API testing is available before purchasing a subscription. The free online converter requires no registration or personal information. The site says submitted data is removed from its server within a few hours, while the color converter page says files are not saved on the server. The yearly subscription is $0.05 a year with a 50-image monthly minimum; the monthly option is $0.08 a month with a minimum of 50 images.
