(Before, it was technically a compound path of 2 subpaths.) Now select both and open Extensions menu > Generate from path > Interpolate. This will result in 2 paths, the inside and the outside. Select the result and do Path menu > Break apart. Do the trace using one of the single scan options. I haven't actually tried it yet, but here it is. Hhhhm.well, I have thought of a pretty ugly way to do this. I just don't have the time to experiment. I did not play around with those, but I suspect you could get something closer to acceptable, once you find the right ones. However, there are a number of variables that can be adjusted. But it's still several paths, broken in seemingly illogical places. I tried a path of 1.0 width, and it does result in less distortion. But it would just take a couple of seconds to try it It may be that your Spiderman example would work better, since the lines are more right-anglish. So I don't think a signature will turn out looking right. Maybe a narrower line would work better? But anyway, here's the before and after: I made the original stroke width 5.00, just for clarity. Or maybe it has something to do with the thickness of the original line. I can think of some fonts though which could be adversely affected. The Centerline option is intended to be used for text/font, so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm not sure why it breaks it up like it does. But there are many paths, when the original was one single path. Hhmm.ok, I'll try a signature.well I'll have to just use a squiggly stroked path, because I can't really write with a mouse.Īahhh, well it didn't turn out as I expected. Yes, the Centerline Trace option did result in a single stroked path for a single line, rather than a filled shape! I did not use a signature to test it, just a simple line drawing.

I'll give it a try, and let you know what I learn. I am curious though, about the centerline trace. I'd be hard pressed to think of even a long way to do it. In this case we're converting raster (bitmap) to vector, and in some.well, many ways, it seems to me that we're lucky to be able to do it at all. But we're talking about converting more than 'just' image formats. Vectorizer.AI is a new approach to vectorization, and we are confident that you will be impressed with the results.Well yes, I certainly can see the potential benefits. Most of them are based on the same old algorithms that have been around for decades, and they frankly don't work very well. When you are looking for an online tool to help you convert a JPG or PNG to vector, you will find a number of options on the web. The whole site is under active development, and we have a lot of exciting features in the pipeline. Our Vector Graph allows us to make these changes while maintaining inter-shape consistency, which is a weak point of many of our competitors.Īnd we are just getting started. These improvements include fitting whole geometric shapes, cleaning up corners, tangent matching, curve fairing, and many others. We developed the Deep Learning models for this product fully in-house, and they are trained on our own proprietary dataset.īut there are a lot of other things that we do better to clean up and improve the output of the AI vectorizer. It is able to tease out details that traditional methods miss, and it makes sensible guesses when the pixel data is ambiguous.

We've been working in this space for 15 years and adding AI has been a game changer. If I had to pick one thing, it would be the AI. What makes Vectorizer.AI better than the competition?
