The SVG Image Tracer · Curiosity.diy

Photo

You can also drop or paste a photo straight onto the preview. Everything stays on your device.

Crop by dragging the green box and its corner handles on the photo — the other tabs zoom to your crop.

Blacks0

Whites pushes brights to pure white; Blacks crushes darks to solid black — both help shapes separate cleanly.

Clean & sharpen

Reduce noise0

Smooths grain and speckle while keeping edges crisp.

Soften0

A little softening before tracing gives calmer shapes.

Sharpen0

Boosts contrast along edges so shapes separate more cleanly.

Layers

Layers appear here once a photo is traced. Click a swatch to recolour it, the eye to hide it, or ↓ to save that layer on its own — handy for cutting one ply at a time.

Set a width in millimetres for laser software; leave 0 to export in pixels.
