  Why:

  CURRENT

  visioncortex VTracer is an open source software to convert raster images (like jpg & png) into vector graphics (svg). It can vectorize graphics and photographs and trace the curves to output compact vector files. Comparing to Potrace which only accept binarized inputs (Black & White pixmap), VTracer has an image processing pipeline which can handle colored high resolution scans. tl;dr: Potrace uses a `O(n^2)` fitting algorithm, whereas `vtracer` is entirely `O(n)`.

  Copy

  visioncortex VTracer is an advanced, open-source **raster to vector graphics converter** designed for high-quality image vectorization. It efficiently transforms raster images (like JPG, PNG) into compact, editable SVG vector graphics, excelling at tracing curves from both photographs and detailed scans. Unlike tools limited to binarized inputs, VTracer features a robust image processing pipeline capable of handling colored, high-resolution images, and offers a significantly more efficient `O(n)` fitting algorithm compared to `O(n^2)` alternatives like Potrace.
