VectorIt
What it is
VectorIt is a free, open-source desktop app for converting raster images into vector graphics. It accepts PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF files, then exports SVG, EPS, PDF, and DXF. It can also render vector artwork back to PNG, BMP, or JPEG at any resolution. Presets and live controls cover color, smoothness, corner threshold, speckle filtering, and path mode. Before conversion, a segmentation editor lets users paint, split, and merge color regions, with undo. Images can be pasted with Ctrl+V, and Ctrl+S repeats an export with the last-used settings. For images over 20 megapixels, VectorIt downsamples for analysis and exports at full resolution. The app runs offline without accounts or telemetry, and says image pixels stay on the user's device. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux under the Apache-2.0 license. The maker describes an installer of about 5 MB. macOS builds are not signed or notarized and may show a developer verification warning at first launch.
For and against
For
- Accepts five listed raster formats.
- Exports SVG, EPS, PDF, and DXF.
- Offers adjustable tracing controls and region editing.
- Runs offline without accounts or telemetry.
- Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Against
- macOS builds may show a first-launch verification warning.
- No free trial is listed.
The verdict
VectorIt combines raster-to-vector conversion with controls for tracing and color-region edits. It is free across three desktop platforms, though macOS users may encounter a launch warning.
Who it suits
VectorIt suits people who need desktop tools to trace raster images and export vector files, or adjust color regions before conversion. Its offline operation may suit users who want image processing to stay on their own machine.
