SVGUnedited feedback from the designers and makers who put PerfectVector to work.
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.
Left is a PNG I drew in Procreate; right is the SVG this made, opened in Illustrator. The quality is unreal.
Tried it — it's accurate. Simple images actually expose detail differences more than complex ones do, and this nails them.
I model for 3D printing — I needed exactly this.
Gave it a try — really nice.
It converts at even better quality than I expected — it preserves the character of the original better than anything else I've tried.
Way more detailed than I expected. Opening Illustrator to convert every single time was such a chore — bookmarked.
I genuinely need this. Doing it by hand in Illustrator took forever.
Oh wow, this is genuinely good. You're going to do well.
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.
You imported your PNG, hit Trace Image, and it looked fine — until the preview showed every stroke outlined twice. You ran the job anyway: the beam cut both edges of every line, and the letters fell right out of the sign.
So you tried a free converter (an engrave-only bitmap wearing an .svg extension), a paid file (text shattered on import), then Inkscape — Trace Bitmap, simplify, break apart — and ended up with a thousand-node tangle anyway.
Whether it’s your logo or your kid’s drawing — none of it hands a laser the paths it actually needs.
Once in scorched plywood. Again in the evening you spent deleting nodes and re-cutting. And if you sell — a third time: a piece with a double-burned edge you can’t ship.
Closed single-line paths, a low node count, and cut, score, and engrave separated by color.
Same image. The beam follows one smooth path instead of stuttering over hundreds of stray points.
One outline per shape. No double-traced strokes, no phantom rectangles, no open segments your software refuses to fill.
Each color arrives as its own selectable layer, so cut, score, and engrave separate cleanly in LightBurn or XCS — no redrawing.
Merge near-duplicate colors right in your browser. Every download is re-optimized — overlapping same-color shapes merge, dropping the node count even further.
| PerfectVector | LightBurn Trace Image | Free auto-tracers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A true SVG with clean, closed paths | Vectors from your bitmap — solid for logos and silhouettes | An SVG, but often a pixel-for-pixel trace |
| Strokes & outlines | Shape outlines; centerlines may need manual drawing | Both edges traced — lines often cut twice | Both edges traced, plus stray fragments |
| Color layers | Color regions to assign and verify | Single layer — no color separation | Rarely separated cleanly |
| Node count | Generated paths; inspect and simplify | Optimize slider helps, but detail gets heavy | High — hundreds of stray anchor points |
| Edit before cutting | Built-in editor to merge colors and trim layers | Node editing by hand | None — re-upload to change anything |
| Price | Vectorizing and preview are always free and unlimited — you only spend a credit when you download a finished file. | Included with LightBurn | Free, with quality trade-offs |
Drop, vectorize, simplify, download — the whole thing takes seconds, right in your browser.

PerfectVector supports PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF, HEIC/HEIF, and TIFF images. Compatible files are prepared automatically in your browser.
Raster vectorization usually creates outlines around visible shapes; it does not infer a centerline from every thick stroke. Inspect the paths, close or redraw geometry when needed, assign operations in your laser software, and test on scrap material before production.
Use the built-in editor to merge near-duplicate colors. Each remaining color becomes its own layer — ready to assign as cut, score, or engrave.
Download the SVG and drop it into LightBurn, xTool Creative Space, or the Glowforge app. Shapes arrive as closed paths, sorted by color.
Your design deserves one clean pass.

Vectorize and previewA clean SVG behaves on any machine — here's what to know about yours.
Upload the SVG directly — vector files support cutting, scoring, and engraving, while JPG and PNG uploads are engrave-only. Keep colors separated so each operation stays selectable.
XCS imports SVG natively but can't process text elements inside one. PerfectVector outputs pure paths — no text objects — so nothing vanishes on import. Set your physical size in XCS after importing.
In LightBurn, each color in your SVG lands on its own layer with its own power and speed settings — perfect for separating a cut outline from an engraved fill.
Most diode machines run LightBurn too. A low node count keeps long jobs streaming smoothly and curves burning clean instead of jittering.
