FAQ
How does this vectorize an image?
The image is downsampled onto a small grid, each cell's color is posterized to a limited palette, and same-colored adjacent cells in each row are merged into single rectangles — a real, working raster-to-SVG conversion, though a blockier style than a full smooth-outline tracer.
Why does it look blocky instead of smooth-outlined?
A full contour-tracing vectorizer (fitting smooth bezier curves around detected edges, like the desktop tool Potrace) is a much more involved algorithm — this tool trades that smoothness for something that runs instantly, entirely client-side, with genuinely scalable vector output.
What do the Colors and Detail sliders control?
"Colors" sets how many posterized color levels are used per channel — fewer colors means a flatter, more graphic look. "Detail" sets the grid resolution — higher values capture more detail but produce a larger SVG file.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No — the conversion happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is sent to a server.

For a quick, graphic pixel-art-style vector version of a logo or icon, this beats opening a full illustration app for a one-off conversion.
