VectorTrace vs Vector Magic
Vector Magic has been doing this since before most of the alternatives existed. The differences worth knowing are architectural, not marketing.

比較表
| 比較表 | vectortrace | Vector Magic |
|---|---|---|
| Where the image is processed | The image is traced by WebAssembly in a Web Worker in your own tab. It is never uploaded, so there is nothing to store, delete or leak. | Their online tool is a hosted service that takes an upload; they also sell a desktop application that runs locally. Check which one you are using.出典 · 確認日 2026-08-26 |
| What you install | Nothing. A page and a WebAssembly module loaded on first interaction. | Nothing for the online tool; a desktop application if you want local processing.出典 · 確認日 2026-08-26 |
| Pricing model | Previews are free and unlimited. Downloads need Pro at €9.00 per month or €69.00 per year, tax inclusive. | Subscription for the online tool and a one-off price for the desktop application, per their pricing page. We link rather than quote.出典 · 確認日 2026-08-26 |
| Public API | POST /api/v1/vectorize with a generated OpenAPI 3.1 document. | Check their site for current API availability and terms.出典 · 確認日 2026-08-26 |
| Cutter-oriented output | Cutout tracing plus DXF and EPS exporters aimed at plotters, lasers and RIPs. | Several vector formats are listed on their site; confirm the current list there.出典 · 確認日 2026-08-26 |
知っておきたいこと
Vector Magic offers an online tool and a desktop application. The online tool uploads; the desktop application does not, and it is a paid download. That split is a reasonable answer to the same problem we solved differently.
VectorTrace answers it by putting the engine in the browser: the page is the tool, the tracing is local, and there is nothing to install. The cost of that choice is that the engine has to fit in a WebAssembly module and run on your CPU, which shapes what it can do.
We have not run a quality comparison against Vector Magic and are not going to describe one we have not run. When the benchmark corpus produces figures, they will appear here with the date and version attached.
未計測の項目
- On your own artwork, which result needs less cleanup before it is usable? That is the only quality metric that pays for itself.
- If you need local processing, are you comparing our browser engine with their desktop application, or with their online tool? They are different products with different properties.

vectortraceを選ぶ理由
- チケット 1 / 3
ブラウザ内で完結・非公開
エンジンはお使いの端末上のワーカーで動作するWebAssemblyです。画像がアップロードされることはないため、漏洩する心配も、削除する必要も、信用に頼る必要もありません。
- チケット 2 / 3
ラッパーではなく編集可能なパス
エンジンは画像を色領域にグループ化し、その境界を取り出してカーブをフィットさせます。出力されるのは実際の形状です — 領域ごとに1つの塗り、すべてのノードを自由に動かせます — タブ内で生成され、サーバー上で生成されることはありません。
- チケット 3 / 3
印刷・製造現場で使われる形式
アートワーク用にSVGとPDF、カッター・彫刻機・刺繍ソフト用にEPSとDXF。Illustrator、Inkscape、LibreCADで実際に開けるファイルです — 中身がJPEGのSVGではありません。
よくある質問
- 01Which one produces better traces?
- We have not measured it, so we will not say. Trace the same file in both, zoom to 800%, and count the nodes your editor reports — that comparison is about your artwork rather than about a corpus somebody else chose.
- 02Is the online version of either tool private?
- Ours does not upload at all — the trace runs in the tab. For any hosted tool, including their online one, the answer is whatever their privacy policy says, and it is worth reading before sending client artwork.
- 03Do I need an account to try VectorTrace?
- No. Previews are free, unlimited and anonymous. An account exists only because downloading needs a licence.
