Super Vectorizer Pro is on 50% off sale now.
There are two versions. one is new "AI" version,  one is classic version.
I did not know that there is AI version myself.
I thought its development has stalled since the classic version hasn't been updated for years.

 I finally got both versions. One forum stated that there are some differences between the Pro and basic version about the line vectorization.

For example,  It is the orginal icon.

Vectorized by Super Vectorizer (basic version):

 

You will find that the final vectorized color by Super Vectorizer (basic version) is better than that vectorized by the Pro version.

The line is more centralized with Super Vectorizer (basic version).

My job should deal with vectorization a lot. Both versions are useful to me. Super Vectorizer Pro always does a great job.  However in some cases Super Vectorizer (basic version) works better. It speeds up my work process.  I will still recommend it even in it's full price.

[How to turn silhouette into outline]

I found Super Vectorizer is very convenient to turn silhouette into vector outline.

 

 

But sometimes, it created lines with zig-zag. So it is good for most of the images but not for all. It could be an option to lower workload but not always so. It depends.

I also had the same problem before. Thanks for the guide.

You're welcome!

SV Pro is a good choice for macOS here, as it is a fast performer, supports also centerline tracing, runs natively on both Apple Intel/Arm (so also natively on Apple Silicon Mx) based hardware. Further it can often be found with attractive discounted price rabats on the net.

Amazing! I didn't realize that Super Vectorizer Pro has all these features. Yes, I got the product when the price was 50% off.   I am very satisfied.

After some time investigation, I finally picked Super Vectorizer Pro from the list. Thanks  v_kyr. You save me a lot of time.

Vector Magic is also good with the tracing effects but its price $295 is far more than I could accept.

I finally used Super Vectorizer Pro which was recommended by v_kyr last year.

Really simple and effective. Thanks.
