SVGcode vs Vectorization.eu

SVGcode turns color raster images into color SVG vector graphics. It accepts JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF files, and uses full-color tracing with SVG as its output format. The conversion engine is a WebAssembly version of Potrace; SVGcode then optimizes the resulting files with SVGO. It runs on the web as a Progressive Web App and can be installed on Windows, Android, and ChromeOS. The app uses browser capabilities including the File System Access API, Async Clipboard API, File Handling API, and Window Controls Overlay customization. SVGcode is free to use, and the project says no login is needed to use it or save SVGs. Its Free plan is free. The source repository lists the GNU General Public License v2.0. It suits people looking for a web-based or installable tool to convert bitmap images to SVG without an account.

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.
