Why would I use an SVG instead of a raster image?

SVG (vector) images scale to any size without losing quality, unlike PNG or JPG (raster) images which pixelate when enlarged. SVGs are also typically smaller for simple graphics like logos and icons.

What is Image Vectorization?

Vectorization converts pixel-based (raster) images into mathematical shapes and paths (vector), which can scale to any size without losing quality — unlike raster images which pixelate when enlarged.

Color, B&W, and Outline Modes

Color: Traces the image using a reduced color palette — great for logos and flat illustrations.
B&W: Converts to black and white shapes based on a brightness threshold.
Outline: Traces only the edges for a clean line-art style SVG.
