Raster to vector converter
A raster image stores colour per pixel; a vector image stores shapes. Converting from one to the other is a reconstruction problem: where exactly did the edge run before it was rasterized, and what colour was the fill before compression touched it? Curvora answers both from the evidence in the pixels — anti-aliasing tells it where the edge is, and flat regions tell it the true colour.
- Sub-pixel edge reconstruction from anti-aliasing
- Pixel-art and nearest-neighbour upscales detected and collapsed to their true resolution
- Linear and radial gradients detected and exported as gradient fills
- Honest quality checks on every output: no invalid paths, no stray specks

Frequently asked
What is the difference between raster and vector?
Raster (bitmap) images such as PNG and JPG are grids of coloured pixels and blur when enlarged. Vector images such as SVG, PDF and EPS are made of mathematically defined shapes and stay sharp at any size, which is why print shops, sign makers and embroidery digitisers ask for them.
Can any raster image be converted?
Any image can be converted; how good the result looks depends on the content. Logos, icons, line art, text and illustrations convert extremely well. Photographs become stylised, posterised artwork with up to 256 colour levels.
