Affinity Designer - How Can I Convert Selected Image To Vector?

[Mainecoon364]

I traced the image in Pixel Layer with Smart Selection Brush Tool.

 

Now how can I convert It into Vector?

Hi @Mainecoon364,

Designer doesn't currently have a auto vector trace tool, this is something that might be made available in a future update, if you wanted to do this within the app currently, you would have to manually trace over your image using the existing tools.

I've linked a post below where v_kyr has listed out a range of third party vectorization apps and websites where this can be done externally. 🙂

Question 1) Can Affinity Designer v1 do Manual Tracing?

 

Question 2) Can Affinity Designer v2 do this either Manual Tracing or Automatic Tracing?

 

Question 3) Can On Affinity Photo v1 and v2 do either Manual Tracing or Automatic Tracing? (I have v1 now)

 

Question 4) Is there an app to to this on Ipad?

Hi @Mainecoon364,

On both Designer V1 and V2 you can manually trace over a a pixel image using the vector tools available within the app (E.G Pen Tool, Vector Brush tool, pencil tool), Designer V1/V2 doesn't currently have an auto trace function currently as previously mentioned.

See v_kyr's post below where he has also included a list of 3rd party apps available on iPad which can perform this function.

Can you share a tutorial video for manual tracing on Affinity Designer on IPAD please? 

I could find only videos for Desktop version.

 

Or tell me the steps please?

It really depends on what you want to trace over but you can find different workflow examples available online, the majority of the video tutorials online are for desktop but that doesn't necessarily mean they can't be followed on iPad, I did find one for iPad below but this is an example of tracing a pixel image to create a vector silhouette.

It works. 

 

Thank you very much.
