Question 1

What kind of images does this tool work best with?

Accepted Answer

Flat-color logos, icons, and high-contrast line art trace cleanly into crisp, editable SVG paths. Complex photos will still convert, but expect a rougher, more stylized result — pure-JS tracing in the browser can't match the quality of paid, ML-based photo-vectorization engines.

Question 2

Which preset should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Use "Logo / Icon" for flat-color graphics, "Line Art / Black & White" for high-contrast drawings and hand-drawn art (great for Cricut/Silhouette cut files), "Detailed / Multi-color" for busier images where you want more paths and colors, and "Grayscale" for monochrome photos.

Question 3

What does the color count control?

Accepted Answer

It sets how many distinct colors the tracer groups your image into before drawing paths. Fewer colors (2-8) produce simpler, smaller SVGs — ideal for logos and cutting machines. More colors (32-64) capture more detail but produce larger, more complex files.

Question 4

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. The image is decoded and traced entirely in your browser using JavaScript — it never leaves your device or touches a server.

Question 5

Why was my image resized before tracing?

Accepted Answer

Very large images are automatically downscaled (longest side capped) before tracing, since the tracing algorithm runs on the main thread in your browser and tracing time grows with pixel count. This keeps the tool responsive without freezing your tab.

Question 6

Can I use the SVG output for Cricut, Silhouette, or laser cutting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The "Line Art / Black & White" preset with a low color count (2) generally produces the cleanest paths for cutting and engraving software.
