bitmap vectorize

[Henry the first]

Dear all,

it is possible to vectorize bitmap images in Affinity designer,
if yes, under which menu item can i find the application?

Best regards

Henry

There is no automatic build-in vectorization feature in AD, thus you have to vectorize manually (redraw on a slightly dimmed and locked background image), or use some third party vectorization tool like ...

• Inkscape (Win + Mac)
• SuperVectorizer (Mac)
• Vectorize (Mac)
• Potrace + Potrace GUI (Mac + Win)
• Autotrace (Mac + Win)
• etc.

Or online https://www.vectorizer.io/, etc.

A Vectorization-tool ist something I miss a lot since I quit Illustrator and switched to AD. Hope this will be part of an update ...

There are also Webbrowser add-ons like:

• Image Vectorizer (Convert to SVG)

which seems to be based on imagetracerjs,  though I haven't tried it out so far and thus can't say if it does a halfway good tracing job.
