Patch & Graphic Tracer

1 · Artwork

A logo, clip art, a scan, or a photo of a patch, badge or sign. Drag the gold box to choose what gets traced.

2 · Clean up

Clean, sharp artwork traces as it is, free. For a photo of a real patch or badge, or a small or blurry image, the AI redraws it first.

Redraw style Line art: black outlines One-color: solid black shapes Clean colors: sharp, in its own colors Ask for a change

A change is made to the version shown and added as a new version, so the earlier ones stay a click away. Images are sent to an AI image service for redraws and changes, and aren't stored. Tracing happens on your computer.

Filled shapes engrave as fills. Single lines run one pass down the middle of every line, for scoring or line-mode engraving.
