vectorize

On the rail as vectorize.

When to use it

Turning any picture into real vector paths you can scale, recolor and edit: a logo or icon is redrawn as clean SVG, an illustration is traced, and a photo or render becomes flat vector art.

When to reach for something else

It takes no written direction and picks its own way from the picture. A photo comes back as flat color shapes, not a faithful trace, and it cannot invent content that was never in the image.

How to use it

1. Drop a picture onto the card’s Image slot, from the board or your computer.
2. Pick a model in the pill at the top of the card, or keep Plnty.
3. Press Run.

Models

The pill at the top of the card picks the model. Plnty is the one a new card starts on.

Model	Good for
Plnty	Any picture that should become an editable vector: a logo or icon saved as an image, a flat illustration, or a photo or render to be turned into flat vector art.
Ideogram Vector	A faithful vector of a picture as it is, above all a photo or a pencil sketch, when Plnty Vectorize’s flat redraw would change it. Simple gives far fewer shapes.

Plnty

Not the one for: It takes no written direction; a photo comes back as flat color shapes, not a faithful trace, and the input must be at least 256px per side.

This model has no settings behind the settings button.

Ideogram Vector

Not the one for: It takes no written direction and does not tidy a picture up; a clean logo or flat illustration traces the same with Plnty Vectorize for less.

Behind the settings button:

Setting	What it does	Choices
Detail	Fine keeps the detail. Simple uses fewer, simpler shapes, lighter to edit. The price is the same.	Fine, Simple
