# VectorDrop

> VectorDrop is a free, browser-based image-to-SVG vectorisation tool and vector playground. It turns PNG, JPG, and WebP images into clean, editable SVG vectors in seconds. No Adobe Illustrator. No manual tracing. No credit-card paywall.

## About

VectorDrop is both a **vectorisation tool** (one-click raster-to-vector conversion with pixel-perfect path tracing) and a **vector playground** (an interactive in-browser workspace where you upload, convert, preview, fine-tune, and export SVGs live). Upload any PNG, JPG, or WebP raster image, get a clean, hand-editable SVG in seconds, and download it ready for Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape, or any SVG editor. Tracing runs in-browser for speed and privacy; exports are clean-geometry SVG paths with no bloated node counts and no background raster artefacts.

## Features

- Free image-to-SVG vectoriser — no watermark, no credits, no paywall for standard conversions
- Interactive vector playground — live preview, instant re-trace, visual tuning
- Pixel-perfect path tracing engine — produces clean, hand-editable geometry
- Supports PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP raster input
- Exports standard SVG (Figma-ready, Illustrator-compatible, Inkscape-compatible)
- Browser-native — no desktop install, works on macOS, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS
- Scales infinitely without pixelation (true vector output)
- No signup required to try the playground
- Optimised path output — low node count, smooth curves, minimal file size
- Privacy-friendly workflow — tracing happens in your browser

## Supported input formats

VectorDrop accepts **PNG, JPG/JPEG, and WebP**. It does not currently accept PDF, SVG, GIF, HEIC, or DXF input.

## How VectorDrop compares

- **vs Adobe Illustrator Image Trace** — no Creative Cloud subscription, no desktop install, works on any OS. Path quality is comparable for icons, logos, and flat art.
- **vs Vectorizer.AI** — VectorDrop is free; Vectorizer.AI charges per export credit after a small trial.
- **vs Vector Magic** — VectorDrop is free and browser-native; Vector Magic is subscription-based and primarily desktop.
- **vs PicSVG** — VectorDrop traces in colour with tunable detail; PicSVG applies fixed filters and largely produces monochrome or posterised output.
- **vs Convertio / CloudConvert** — generic converters frequently wrap the raster inside an SVG container rather than tracing it. VectorDrop produces real, editable vector paths.
- **vs Potrace** — same interactive goal without the command line, and colour-aware rather than monochrome-only.
- **vs Recraft AI / Kittl** — those generate new artwork from prompts. VectorDrop vectorises artwork you already have, with fidelity to the source.
- **vs Inkscape Trace Bitmap** — no 300MB desktop install and no learning curve.

## Who it is for

- **Designers** replacing Illustrator's Image Trace with a faster, browser-native tool
- **Frontend developers** who need SVG assets for websites, icon sets, and component libraries
- **Figma users** vectorising raster logos for sharp, resolution-independent display
- **Indie founders and marketers** producing brand assets without Creative Cloud
- **Crafters and makers** producing cut files for Cricut, laser cutters, and vinyl plotters
- **Print and apparel shops** preparing artwork for screen printing, DTF, and embroidery
