SVGcode vs WinTopo

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.

WinTopo is Windows desktop software that converts TIF, JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP files, and scanned images into vector files for CAD, GIS, and CNC applications. One-Touch Vectorisation performs raster-to-vector conversion in a single click. Documented exports include DXF, SHP, PDF, MIF, ARC, DI, WMF, EMF, ASC, and WTX, and batch conversion is available. WinTopo Pro adds image processing, more advanced vectorisation algorithms and options, georeferencing, GeoTIFF coordinate extraction, and manual vector digitising over the raster image. Its trial includes all Pro features, but an unlicensed copy saves only a sample of the vector result. Freeware is unrestricted for small conversion volumes. The first Pro license costs 200.00 GBP once for one computer; an additional license costs 150.00 GBP once. WinTopo generally runs on Windows 7 or higher, with stated approximate minimums of a 1GHz CPU, 0.5GB memory, and 50MB storage.
