PerfectVector rebuilds your image as crisp, scalable vector art. Sharp at any size, anywhere.
PerfectVector handles the focused browser conversion. Image Trace is one part of a full professional editor. Either may fit a particular image and workflow.
Start with the same raster logo, illustration, or graphic you would otherwise place in Illustrator.
Look closely at the silhouette, negative space, color regions, and small details before you consider unlocking.
Ask whether the automatic result is enough or whether presets and manual Image Trace settings are essential to the job.
Unlock the PerfectVector result with one credit only if the preview passes. Otherwise, keep Image Trace and tune the result in Illustrator.
The research team continuously advancing PerfectVector's in-house vectorization engine
PerfectVector is developed in-house by Rastrix Inc. Its researchers bring 10+ years of combined research and industry experience in deep learning and computer vision.
Our researchers hold every vector to a high standard. They design new methods, review results, and continuously improve how PerfectVector reconstructs shapes, edges, colors, and fine detail.
This table compares product scope, access, and documented workflow. It does not rank output quality.
| Decision point | PerfectVector | Adobe Illustrator Image Trace |
|---|---|---|
| Product scope | A focused browser workflow for vectorizing an image, inspecting the protected result, and exporting after unlock. | A tracing feature inside Illustrator's broader vector drawing and editing application. |
| Before committing | Vectorize and inspect a protected preview for free and without a usage limit. Spend one credit only when you unlock that finished result. | Adobe documents an in-app preview and adjustable Image Trace settings. Illustrator is currently offered through a paid subscription, with a trial available. |
| Trace controls | The engine produces an automatic starting result so you can judge the image rather than configure a tracing panel first. | Adobe documents presets plus controls for paths, corners, noise, colors, path methods, fills, strokes, grouping, and other trace structure. |
| Editing after the trace | Inspect the generated paths, unlock the result you want, and continue in the editor or another vector application. | Expand the trace into editable vector paths, then continue refining the artwork inside Illustrator. |
| Access model | The first finished-result unlock costs one credit. Later downloads of the same unlocked result do not cost another credit. | Image Trace is available as part of Illustrator. Adobe's current US product page describes monthly or yearly subscription access. |
| Best fit | Occasional browser-based vectorizing, with each result chosen after preview. | Tracing that needs manual controls and continued work in a full vector editor. |
PerfectVector is an alternative to the tracing step, not a replacement for Illustrator's full editing environment. Test the same source and judge the paths in your downstream workflow.
We reviewed Adobe's current Image Trace workflow, panel documentation, and US Illustrator product page, plus Rastrix's public description of the team behind PerfectVector.
We did not use a current Illustrator account, run identical fixtures through both products, or inspect downloaded outputs. This page therefore does not compare fidelity, path or anchor counts, cleanup time, or output quality.
PerfectVector is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Adobe. Adobe, Illustrator, and Image Trace are named only to help visitors compare the workflows.
I'd tried everything and been let down every time — I'd given up, figuring today's tech just couldn't do this. And you actually built it. If this is real, it's genuinely incredible.
It converts at even better quality than I expected — it preserves the character of the original better than anything else I've tried.
PerfectVector is impressively fast, and the output quality is already very good. With a bit more refinement it could easily compete with the leading tools.
Way more detailed than I expected. Opening Illustrator to convert every single time was such a chore — bookmarked.
Tried it — it's accurate. Simple images actually expose detail differences more than complex ones do, and this nails them.
