Photo to vector
A photograph is continuous tone: there are no outlines in it to find. Vectorizing one means deciding how few colours it can be reduced to and accepting a stylised result — which is exactly right for posters, stencils and screen prints, and wrong for anything that must still look like a photograph.
- Choose the number of colours and watch the photo posterise in real time
- Gradients are detected and kept as gradients where the image really has them
- Noise and JPEG artifacts are cleaned first, so you do not trace the compression
- Free unlimited preview — decide from the result, not from a promise

Frequently asked
Will my photo still look like a photo?
No. It will look like a good poster of the photo. Continuous tone becomes flat regions; that change is the point of the conversion, not a fault in it.
How many colours should I choose?
Six to sixteen for a portrait you still recognise, two or three for a stencil or screen print. Watch the preview — the right number is visible immediately.
Why is my file so large?
Photographs produce many small shapes. Raise the despeckle and minimum shape size, and lower the colour count; the file usually drops by a large factor with little visible change.
Is an upscaler better for my case?
If you want the same picture, larger and sharper, yes. Vectorizing is for when you want shapes you can edit, cut or print at any size.
