Image Converter Meta Scrubber Vectorise to SVG

Sketch to Vector

Upload a hand-drawn sketch, scanned blueprint or high-contrast image and get a clean SVG or DXF vector file — ready for CAD, Inkscape, Illustrator, or laser cutting.

Tips for best results
Use high-contrast images with dark lines on a white or light background. Scanned drawings at 300dpi+ produce the cleanest output. Photographs with many colours and gradients are harder to trace — try adjusting the threshold slider to separate lines from background.

Vector converter questions

What images produce the best vector output?
High-contrast images produce the cleanest vectors: black or dark pen drawings on white paper, scanned technical drawings, printed circuit board layouts, architectural floor plans, or linework illustrations. Scan at 300dpi or above for the sharpest lines. Faint pencil sketches can be improved by scanning in high contrast mode or adjusting the threshold slider upward.
What is SVG and when should I use it?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based format that scales to any size without losing quality. Use SVG for logos, illustrations and drawings that will be used at multiple sizes — on a website, in a presentation, or printed. SVG files open in Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, browsers, and most modern design tools.
What is DXF and which software supports it?
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is the standard interchange format for CAD drawings, developed by Autodesk. It is supported by AutoCAD, FreeCAD, LibreCAD, QCAD, SolidWorks, BricsCAD, and most other CAD applications. Use DXF when you need to bring a sketch into a CAD program for dimensioning, modification, or manufacturing.
What does the threshold slider control?
The threshold slider determines the brightness cutoff: pixels darker than the threshold are treated as drawing lines, lighter pixels as background. Lower values (40–100) only capture very dark lines. Higher values (150–220) pick up lighter marks and faint pencil lines. Adjust it until the preview shows a clean separation between your lines and the background.
Can I use this for laser cutting or CNC machining?
Yes. The DXF output can be imported into CAM software (such as Lightburn for laser cutters, or Fusion 360 for CNC) as a starting point. For best machine-ready output, use a clean, single-line drawing — the tracer follows edges, so solid filled shapes will produce outline paths. You may need to clean up the paths in a CAD tool before running a job.
