Images become production data.

Eleven routes from a raster file to a contour that a machine or a print shop understands. Every guide also names its limits.

Eleven use cases.

  1. 01 · BRANDING

    Vectorize a logo

    Turn a single colour logo from PNG, JPG or a scan into closed vector paths, clean enough for print, vinyl and engraving.
  2. 02 · FORMATS

    Convert PNG to SVG

    Convert a PNG into an SVG vector graphic for free: real Bézier paths instead of a pixel image in an SVG shell, right in your browser.
  3. 03 · FORMATS

    Convert JPG to SVG

    Convert a JPG or photo into an SVG vector graphic for free: filter out compression artefacts and keep clean paths, right in your browser.
  4. 04 · DRAWING

    Digitize a hand drawing

    Lift ink, pencil or ballpoint off the paper and keep it as a clean black line, without any paper texture in the result.
  5. 05 · PLOTTER

    Image to plotter file

    Get a cuttable silhouette out of an image: closed contours, no background, ready for vinyl and foil.
  6. 06 · TATTOO

    Tattoo stencil from an image

    Translate a drawing or a photo into a printable line template that outputs cleanly on thermal paper.
  7. 07 · EMBROIDERY

    Embroidery pattern from an image

    Reduce a motif to clear areas so that digitizing software can compute stitches from it.
  8. 08 · LASER

    Vector file for laser engraving

    Translate a motif into closed contours that laser software can read as an engraving or cutting line.
  9. 09 · SCREEN PRINTING

    Create screen printing artwork

    Turn a motif into a solid single colour shape that can be output as film and exposed onto a screen.
  10. 10 · STAMPS

    Create a stamp design

    Prepare a motif so that it still prints cleanly and legibly as a stamp at a small size.
  11. 11 · STENCILS

    Create a stencil from an image

    Split a motif into positive and negative areas and output it as a cuttable stencil with load bearing bridges.

How it works.

Four steps, no matter whether a vinyl gets cut or a screen gets exposed at the end.

  1. Load the imageDrag a PNG, JPG or WEBP into the drop area. The image stays on your device.
  2. Split black from whiteThree sliders decide which tones belong to the shape and which disappear.
  3. Check the contoursThe vector view shows exactly the path that ends up in the file.
  4. Export a formatPDF, SVG, EPS, DXF or a cleaned PNG, downloaded straight away.

Pixels turn into paths.
