Step 2 — Choose the Right Preset
The preset controls how the vectorization algorithm traces your image. Our AI auto-selects the best preset, but you can override it:
- Default — good starting point for most images
- Icon / Logo — flat graphics with 2–15 colors, clean edges
- Line Art — sketches, drawings, outlines
- Photo (High Detail) — complex images with gradients
Step 3 — Download Your SVG
Preview the result in the side-by-side comparison. If satisfied, click "Download SVG". The file is already SVGO-optimized for the smallest possible file size.
Tips for Best Results
- Use PNG over JPG — PNG is lossless and produces cleaner traces
- High contrast images always vectorize better
- Remove the background first if you want a transparent SVG
- For Cricut, use B&W mode for single-layer cut files
