Vector Converter

Convert raster and vector images into clean scalable graphics

Vector Converter targets a very specific need: turning a chaotic mix of vector and bitmap files into tidy, scalable graphics that play nicely with professional design tools. It’s a focused utility that will primarily appeal to designers, engineers, and anyone who frequently juggles technical drawings or logo files.

The app supports an impressive range of input formats, from classic vector standards like AI (up to Illustrator 9), SVG, CGM, WMF, and DXF to common raster formats such as JPG, PNG, GIF, and BMP. Output choices are just as flexible: you can export to AI, SVG, CGM, WMF, SK, SK1, PDF, PS, and PLT, which makes it handy whether you’re preparing artwork for print, plotter devices, or further editing in desktop software.

Its standout feature is bitmap tracing, which converts bitmaps into smooth vector paths. Simple logos, icons, line drawings, and scanned sketches usually come out clean and scalable, ideal for branding work or technical diagrams. As with most auto-tracing tools, results on complex photos or low‑quality scans are less perfect, so you may still need some manual cleanup in a dedicated editor.

The interface is utilitarian rather than pretty, but this plays in its favor: key options are easy to find, and batch conversions are quick to set up. Performance is generally solid, though very large or intricate files can take a while to process.

A couple of limitations are worth noting: modern AI files beyond version 9 may not open correctly, and raster‑to‑PDF conversion is not the app’s main focus. Still, for everyday format shifting and turning simple bitmaps into crisp vectors, Vector Converter is a practical, no‑nonsense companion.
