Now, just press File - Export As - PDF, SVG or EMF. When the result looks well, press the OK button to confirm the vectorization. You can also enable or disable Noise reduction (it is appropriate for natural photos). Set the Number of colors to tell Photopea, how many colors should the result have. The easiest way is to use the Appearance panel and add a stroke to either the grouped artwork or the layer that it is on there is no need to flatten or duplicate anything then and the stroke will update with any changes to your artwork. When the vector result does not look perfect, you can improve it by changing settings. You can zoom in and out with a mouse wheel, and move the preview by dragging it (both previews are zoomed and moved simultaneously). Here, we can see two previews: the original raster image on the left side, and the new vector image on the right side. Press File - Open, and open your raster image. Vectorization (or image tracing) can be done online for free. How can we do it faster? Converting Raster Graphics to Vectors Recreating such image by hand can take a lot of time. On the other hand, components and shapes of vector images can be retooled and resized, without ruining/destroying the image.Often, we see images, that were originally made as vector graphics, but are only available as a PNG or JPG file. Although fully scalable and easy to edit, vector images never look photo-realistic. This means that they consist of math equations, meaning the image is essentially made up of strings of data that a computer program can recognize and display. Because they are path-based, vector images are easily scalable. The entire point of vector images is to solve the resolution dependency. For instance, when you need to change the image size a multitude of times (layers, etc.) It goes the same for commercial marketing. This isn’t ideal for website and graphic design. Every time you try and resize the image, the quality will change. However, this is what makes bitmap images resolution-dependent. They are comprised of paths which can be a simple line, a curve, a geometric shape any and all of which can be edited and manipulated in many ways to get the effect you want. The smaller the pixels are, the clearer the image will be. Illustrator works with vector graphics which unlike PSD’s, JPEG’s etc are not comprised of a mass of pixels.


Add a large number of tiny pixels and you’ve got yourself a clear picture. This means that they use pixels in columns and rows made of different colors and different shades of the same color in order to display the image. Bitmap Imagesįrequently seen and sufficiently basic to begin with, bitmap images are expressed via, well, bitmap (.JPEG. In order to fully understand how to “vectorize” an image, you’ll need to comprehend the difference between the bitmap and vector images.
