This online service was initially described as free, but now you have to pay for it. The free version has a limit on the number of images processed and the service logo is pasted onto the result.
Yesterday I found a wonderful online tool for converting raster images to vectors . It's so wonderful that, frankly speaking, it's a pity to tell even you, Dear Reader, about it.
Only my boundless devotion to the ideals of a blogger made me overcome my greed and knock out (what a multifaceted word) this post.
For those who don’t know the differences between raster and vector images, here’s a little background:
All graphic formats are divided into two types - raster and vector. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Raster drawings are closer to the real image, they are easier to work with. We can say that they are a snapshot of a real image with shopify website design a fixed accuracy. Vector ones are the embodiment of pure artistic abstraction. By their nature, they are close to the drawings of artists. Vector drawings are compact and universal. Representing essentially the idea of what should be depicted, they undergo any transformations without loss, unlike raster ones, which lose quality with almost any change. One of the remarkable properties of vector drawings is that they can be enlarged to enormous sizes without losing image quality.
James Diebel and Jacob Norda from Stanford University have created an online service VectorMagic that can really spoil the mood of developers of paid tools ( Adobe Live Trace and Corel PowerTRACE ) for recoding bitmap images into vector format. If you don't believe me, look here at the comparison results of the above-mentioned programs with VectorMagic.
The service works quite fast (we make a small allowance for the complexity of the transformation) and the results are simply shocking. I tested VectorMagic with several images, and the results were the best. VectorMagic has a good system for automatically detecting image characteristics and adjusting the transformation parameters, so the user basically does not need to know anything special about the process itself.
As source images, you can use images in JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP and TIFF formats . Depending on your wishes, you can get a drawing in three different vectorization quality options and in three different formats: EPS, SVG and PNG . After completing the vectorization process, you can repeat the process with a different quality (either higher or lower) and do some minor editing.
Let's look at the translation of an image using an example:
1. Go to the VectorMagic website and upload the drawing. To upload an image, use the “ Browse ” and “ Upload ” buttons:
\"Loading
2. After loading the web application, a window will appear with an assumption about what our drawing is - a photograph (artistic drawing), a logo with blurred edges or a clear logo. You can agree with the program, or you can choose everything manually. Let's show a little independence and choose to define the drawing as a photograph:
\"Choice
… then click on the “ Next ” button in the lower right corner of the window.
