You can use Autotracer to convert raster images into vector graphics. This process is called tracing or vectorization.
Tracing can be done by hand or you can use a tool which does this cumbersome job automatically, although further post-processing is usually necessary.
In a raster image, each object is represented by a pattern of dots. Raster images are good for photographs and images with color gradients or subtle shading. However, they are not very good for other purposes. One of the main disadvantages is that raster images cannot be resized without losing clarity.
On the other hand, vector graphics can be scaled to any size without any loss in image quality. Graphics best suited for the vector format are logos, page layout, type, line art or illustrations.
Autotracer is a free online image vectorizer. It can convert raster images like JPEGs, GIFs and PNGs to scalable vector graphics (EPS, SVG, AI and PDF). No registration or email required.
