In fact, translations for over 20 out of all 88 languages were updated for version 1.0, making the software more accessible to people from all over the world.Ī major milestone was achieved in enabling Inkscape to use a more recent version of the software used to build the editor's user interface (namely GTK+3). Smoother performance, HiDPI support, new & improved Live Path Effects & native macOS appĪfter a little over three years in development, the team is excited to launch the long awaited Inkscape 1.0 into the world.īuilt with the power of a team of volunteers, this open source vector editor represents the work of many hearts and hands from around the world, ensuring that Inkscape remains available free for everyone to download and enjoy. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development process, and by making sure Inkcape is easy to learn, to use, and to extend. Inkscape's main goal is to create a powerful and convenient drawing tool fully compliant with XML, SVG, and CSS standards. It imports formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and others and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats. Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data, node editing, layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing, text-on-path, flowed text, direct XML editing, and more. To anyone interested in comparing results, I would like to ask reporting results to free open source tools so they can ameliorate.Using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format you can manipulate shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and grouping. Here also Wikipedia: Comparison of raster-to-vector conversion software, not every tool.
There are more GUI that added tracing feature, like Gimp & Inkscape. Originally created as a plugin for the GIMP,Ĭommand: autotrace -output-format svg inputfile Of the AutoTrace project is the development of a freely-availableĪpplication similar to CorelTrace or Adobe Streamline. It can then be rendered at anyĪutoTrace: bitmap to vector graphics converterĪutoTrace is a program for converting bitmaps to vector graphics. A typical use is to create EPS files from scanned data, such asĬompany or university logos, handwritten notes, etc. PPM, or BMP format), and the default output is an encapsulated PostScriptįile (EPS). Potrace is a utility for tracing a bitmap, which means, transformingĪ bitmap into a smooth, scalable image. Potrace: utility to transform bitmaps into vector graphics As I remember, both tools do not support compressed formats as input, only bitmap images. Myself I tried potrace before which gave nice results with default options. potrace & autotrace both are in Ubuntu repository.
So you are looking for raster to vector graphics converter/tracer.
