jpickett1968 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I was told that Affinity was the way to go to create SVG items, but I'm having a hard time finding help on this topic. I wish to convert PNG or JPG logos into SVG so that I can manipulate the objects in 3D space in a different program. Inkscape allowed this to be done - converting to SVG, but I don't see a quick solution on AD. Help? 2989 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 8, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 8, 2018 Hi jpickett1968, Welcome to Affinity Forums PNG and JPG are raster based images. To be able to save them as editable vector objects to SVG they must be first converted to paths/shapes using an auto-trace functionality (or tracing the logos manually). Currently Affinity doesn't have/offer this functionality so the only way to do this here is recreating/tracing the logo manually with the Pen Tool/shapes tools. Inkscape does have a trace feature. There's also third party apps (Image Vectorizer, Vector Magic, Super Vectorizer 2) and online services that do/offer this functionality.

Staff MEB Posted September 8, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hi 2989, Yes, it has the AutoTrace Studio however Affinity apps were created from scratch, there's no feature parity between the new Affinity and old Plus apps.
