Revolutionize your workflow with Auto Trace
This AI-powered tool allows you to instantly transform raster images into beautiful high-quality vector assets.
From raster to vector in a tap
Auto Trace uses a custom algorithm to turn sketches and photos into endlessly editable vector graphics. Rather than spend hours tracing over images with the Pen Tool, let Auto Trace work its magic. Then, spend your time refining the details by creating or deleting paths and nodes, changing colors, and more.

Auto Trace has three modes for different use cases: Sketch, Photography, and Illustration. If you don’t know which one to choose, our CoreML Machine Learning model will analyze your images and automatically select the right one. Sketch Mode scans your imported drawings on paper and turns your pen and pencil lines into editable vector paths. This mode works particularly well with hand-drawn lettering and logos.
