Trace an image online
Tracing a bitmap by hand with a pen tool is accurate and slow; an automatic tracer is fast and usually messy. This one reconstructs the artwork instead of following the pixel staircase, then shows you the node count and the geometry so you can judge whether it beat the hand-drawn version.
- Sub-pixel reconstruction rather than outlining pixel blocks
- Corners detected and re-intersected, so rectangles stay rectangles
- Node counts, path counts and file size measured from the output, not estimated
- Nothing to install: it runs in the browser, on your machine

Frequently asked
How is this different from tracing in a desktop editor?
Desktop tracers generally follow the pixel boundary. This engine reconstructs a continuous edge from the anti-aliasing first, then fits curves — which is why low-resolution input comes out smooth rather than jagged.
Can I edit the result afterwards?
Yes. The SVG contains ordinary paths, so Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity and Figma all open it for editing.
Does it work on screenshots?
Yes, and pixel-grid detection helps: an image that was enlarged with nearest-neighbour scaling is collapsed back to its true resolution before tracing.
Is there a file size limit?
40 MB, 8192 pixels a side and 24 megapixels in the browser. Larger files go through the API.
