autotrace
Converts bitmap images to vector graphics with support for multiple formats and tracing algorithms.
What is autotrace?
AutoTrace is an open-source program and library that converts bitmap images into vector graphics. It transforms raster formats like PNG and BMP into scalable vector formats such as SVG, EPS, and PDF, solving the problem of image pixelation when scaling. The tool includes features like edge tracing, color reduction, and despeckling to produce clean, editable vector output.
Graphic designers, illustrators, and developers who need to digitize artwork, create logos, or integrate vectorization into applications. It's also suitable for open-source projects requiring bitmap-to-vector conversion capabilities.
Developers choose AutoTrace for its open-source nature, cross-platform support, and flexibility as both a command-line tool and embeddable library. It offers a free alternative to proprietary vectorization software with support for multiple formats and customizable tracing options.
