Vecto vs Vectorizer.AI

Vecto converts raster images such as logos, icons, illustrations, scans, and photos into editable SVG files. It accepts PNG, JPG, BMP, and GIF, preserves transparency, and provides a live side-by-side preview with synced zoom. Its tracer builds a connected mosaic, fitting shared boundaries once to avoid gaps or overlaps; it can represent straight edges as true lines and circles as exact arcs. Sub-pixel placement positions boundaries between pixels rather than snapping them to the pixel grid. Users can export SVGs or copy them to the clipboard for design and cutting software. Photo tracing can create stylized posterized vector art with a chosen number of colors. The maker says processing happens locally, images are not uploaded, and the app works offline without an account. Vecto is MIT-licensed and available free to download or build. The graphical application is Windows-only; Linux and macOS downloads are command-line tools for tracing, batch jobs, and benchmarking. A Microsoft Store version costs $7.99, paid once.

Vectorizer.AI turns raster images into editable vector graphics for uses including logos, illustrations, print, web, CAD, and CNC. It accepts PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, and WebP files, and can export SVG, EPS, DXF, PDF, or a cleaned-up PNG. Its conversion process pairs in-house deep-learning models trained on a proprietary dataset with geometric methods for shape fitting, corner cleanup, and symmetry modeling. Users can upload, convert, and preview images without commitment; production results from example images are available to download free. Web App uploads are capped at 3 megapixels and 30 megabytes, with cropping to fit the resolution limit. Developers can connect through SDKs, a CLI, HTTP endpoints, or OpenAPI. API access starts at $9.99 a month for 50 credits, with one credit covering one image; the Web App is $9.99 a month and has no API access. Unused API credits roll over up to five times the monthly allowance. The product is available on web, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
