Description
CONVERT BITMAPS TO VECTOR GRAPHICS AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON
How many times have you needed a vector graphic version of a logo or icon for a design you’ve been working on? Image Vectorizer is here to make the process as fast and painless as possible! Simply drag an image in to the app and click to convert. Image Vectorizer creates beautiful black-and-white vector images. You can then copy the vector graphic to the clipboard or export it in a variety of different formats to use with your favorite vector drawing app.
Image Vectorizer works best for black-and-white line art, such as pencil drawings, outlines, logos, and blueprints. Photos can be converted using one of the built-in halftoning effects. Color vectorization is not supported, but you can select custom foreground and background colors, or color the vectorized image in a vector drawing application.
PEN AND PAPER, STRAIGHT TO VECTOR? NO PROBLEM!
Image Vectorizer lets you import directly from your scanner and convert the results to vector. Great for hand-drawn graphics or even document scanning. (Note: Image Vectorizer does not perform OCR on text.)
A WHOLE HOST OF FEATURES TO STREAMLINE THE PROCESS
Image Vectorizer doesn’t limit you to straight conversions, it also lets you filter the bitmap image to create a variety of interesting effects and it lets you control the vectorisation process too.

What’s New
Version 1.6
Fixed a bug where an imported image first shows up as blank in OS X 10.11. Fixed issues with retina displays that could cause staircase patterns in some vectorized images. Fixed compatibility with OS X 10.8. Improved error checking and stability. More sensible ranges and defaults for some bitmap and vectorization parameters.
Ratings and Reviews
Much better than I expected
I had an icon in both pdf and tiff formats which I wanted to use as a pattern for laser cutting silver earrings. I tried several other applications including file converters, CAD programs, and image processing programs without success for various reasons. I also tried Super Vectorizer, which proved useless for me as it provided double traces of all the artwork with a number of defects in each trace. I wasted much time trying to correct and scale the results. Finally as a last resort I decided to try Image Vectorizer despite its poor rating. I have been very pleased with the results which have been very clean, accurate, compatible, and scalable. I very much recommend this App for bitmap to dxf conversions.
Really great app! Very tweakable.
I hunted and scoured and tried pretty much all the other free online and downloadable apps to do this job, and the only one that is actually is any good on a professional level is this app.
So I got rid of Adobe Illustrator and now use Affinity Designer (brilliant choice, such a better experience, I totally recommend you switch too). The only problem with this upgraded vector experience is that Affinity Designer does not currently have a raster-to-vector engine in it (but it is in their up coming features list, FYI).
So yeah $5 to fill in the gap of a single feature is kinda lame, but don’t be cheap, if you need to make vectors that actually look any good, then this is it (or keep using Illustrator).
Just the right amount of Setting Adjustments
I tried a bunch of apps to do this job. None gave me a good result until I found this one. The fully automatic apps created a poor vector representation of flat images. Other apps had a steep learning curve and required a lot of work to get your vector image from flat graphics. This app has a small number of sliders that let you perfectly extract a vector image from your flat image. Once you get the settings right, you usually don't have to adjust them for most other images. It let's you save it or copy straight to clip board which can save a lot of time.
