Scanning Kids Artwork for Vectorization
Scan at 600 DPI in color mode. Photograph works too — bright, even lighting without shadows. If the drawing is on lined paper, the lines will trace as part of the SVG — use plain white paper.
- Use plain white paper, not lined
- 600 DPI scan in color mode
- Photograph with bright daylight, no shadows
- Remove background (plain paper scans cleanly with threshold)
Converting Kids Drawing to SVG Step by Step
Upload the scanned PNG to imagetosvg.com. Color mode captures all the crayon and marker colors. B&W mode creates a black outline version that can be printed and colored again. Both work beautifully for gifts.
- Upload scanned drawing to imagetosvg.com
- Color mode: preserves all the original artwork colors
- B&W mode: creates a coloring book version
- Download SVG and use in Design Space, Printify, or print shops
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I turn my kid's crayon drawing into a shirt?
Yes — convert to SVG, then either cut multi-layer HTV or use print-on-demand services like Printify that accept SVG/PNG uploads.
How do I remove the paper lines from a scanned child's drawing?
Use plain white paper for the original drawing. If you have lined paper, increase contrast in GIMP to make lines disappear before vectorizing.
What is the best gift using a child's SVG artwork?
Custom ornaments, mugs, tote bags, pillows, and puzzle prints. Print-on-demand sites make it easy to order products from uploaded artwork.
Can I sell products made from my child's artwork?
Yes — as the parent, you own the copyright to your child's artwork. Convert, use, and sell freely.
