Using Inkscape to vectorize an image takes 3 simple steps. Step 1: Open PNG Image in Inkscape Open image in Inkscape or drag an image onto your Inkscape document. If you drag it into your document, you may see the following prompt (I used the default settings below): Click on your image to select it. Using the online vector converter, you can perform 2 different operations: Convert raster to a vector image, eg, convert JPG to AI, PNG to AI (using the utility Potrace). At the output you will get a black and white image. If you need to get a color vector image, you.
What is the definition of a raster or bitmap image?
It is layers composed of individual pixels which can be seen as squares of color when magnified, plus raster layers let you display subtle changes in tones and colors.
What is the definition of a vector image?
Vector objects, such as lines and shapes, vector text or vector groups, are composed of geometric characteristic and can easily be edited.
Here’s an example of the visual differences between vector and raster (bitmap) art:

In the busy world of graphic design, images and files are edited, shared and outsourced to vendors on a daily basis. It would be ideal if everyone spoke the same design language, but that is not always the case. Not all files are created equal. Vector files can be created using a graphic design software, such as CorelDRAW, and raster files are created and manipulated in other types of software programs. So how do you get the files to work together?
Converting various file types to vector
Thankfully, the vectorization process is quick and easy with the built-in technology of the PowerTRACE™ engine. It provides the best tracing results and turns the most demanding bitmap images into high-quality vector objects.
With a few simple steps, you will be able to convert an existing raster or bitmap file, such as a .JPG, .BMP or .PNG file, into a vector file.
Here’s a comparison of raster or bitmap file on the left, and a vector image on the right.
In this step-by-step tutorial, you will learn to vectorize an image using CorelDRAW's graphics software.

In addition to the conversion process, you can also trace a vector image. Tracing is essentially another way to take a raster or bitmap image and converting it into a vector graphic. This helpful webinar will cover these important tracing topics:
- PowerTRACE settings
- How to avoid tracing pitfalls
- Image readiness and quality
- Preparing images for tracing
- Reducing nodes in the final trace
- Font recognition
- Simplifying images prior to tracing
- Color conversion
Step 2: isolate the section you want to trace
Step 4: delete the seagull vector image
Step 5: smooth the rough edges with the Smooth tool
