Convert raster images to vector online with Vector Magic

Vector images are made up of many individual, scalable objects. These objects are points, lines, and curves defined by mathematical equations rather than pixels, so they always render at the highest quality. The biggest advantage of vector images is they are scalable, which means that you can enlarge a vector image several times and never lose the quality. Bitmap or raster images on the other hand, become pixelated when zoomed and individual pixels become visible. This does not happen with vector images because vector images construct an image from mathematical equations. The downside of vector images however, is that it has to be relatively simple. A photograph consisting of millions of different colors and shades is impossible to convert into vector while maintaining the same clarity. Vector images however has a distinctive look and feel.

Vector Magic is an online auto tracer program that converts bitmap images into vector images through an easy to use interface. The resulting vector image can be downloaded as a PNG file or in PSD, EPS and SVG format which are supported by major graphics application like Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw and Inkscape.

What can you do with vector images?

Vector images are ideal for logos which need to be scaled to various degrees for various purposes. A vector logo can be scaled down to a small icon or enlarged to a fir on a presentation slide several feet wide without any loss of quality. Vector images when converted from a photograph also has a cool look which can be used in various graphics projects or simply as a wallpaper.
