I really love how much size SVG can save and you get a “cleaner” option when it comes to browser zoom levels and whatnot.
Has anyone had any success with SVG generation from a clear raster image?
- okennedy 3y agoInkscape has a filter that's been pretty reliable at generating vectors from raster inputs.
- pbnjeh 3y agoIIRC, that is based on the utility potrace. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potrace https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potrace potrace worked just fine for me when I needed to digitize some drawings that became a prominent part of a business's graphic design. Maybe a decade and a half ago. Edit: I see now that Inkscape can do color by first decomposing into colors and then doing each of those separately.
- SamBam 3y agoThere are plenty of online services that will do this for you (I don't recall which I've used to recommend), and they generally work but require quite a lot of post-processing, mostly removing potentially hundreds of extraneous points, unless it's all easy straight lines and simple curves. Actually, I'll bet this would be a great place for AI to optimize.

- RugnirViking 3y agoDepends what you want; Inkscape does it well for some basic tasks involving images with few colours, I've often thought about how it could be achieved better for artistic pieces
- infinityio 3y agoI used a copy of (desktop) Vector Magic several years ago - it's almost certainly not worth the purchase price today (and better software may already exist), but it did very reliably get me a reasonably close SVG from an original image
