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.

|---|---|---|
| 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.출처 · 확인일 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.출처 · 확인일 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.출처 · 확인일 2026-08-26 |

알아두면 좋은 점
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.
아직 측정하지 않은 것
- 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.

vectortrace를 선택하는 이유
- 전표 1 / 3
브라우저 내 실행, 완전한 비공개
엔진은 여러분의 기기에서 워커로 실행되는 WebAssembly입니다. 이미지는 업로드되지 않으므로 유출될 것도, 삭제할 것도, 믿고 맡길 것도 없습니다.
- 전표 2 / 3
감싼 것이 아니라 편집 가능한 패스
엔진은 이미지를 색상 영역으로 그룹화하고, 그 경계를 추출해 곡선을 피팅합니다. 결과물은 실제 지오메트리입니다 — 영역마다 하나의 채우기, 여러분이 직접 옮길 수 있는 모든 노드 — 탭 안에서 만들어지며 서버에서는 결코 만들어지지 않습니다.

인쇄와 생산 현장에서 쓰는 형식
아트워크용 SVG와 PDF, 커터·조각기·자수 소프트웨어용 EPS와 DXF. Illustrator, Inkscape, LibreCAD에서 바로 열리는 실제 파일 — JPEG를 감싼 SVG가 아닙니다.
질문
- 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.
