Tired of pixelation ruining your designs? Vectorizer AI uses a proprietary AI model to quickly convert your bitmap images into scalable vectors for free. Don’t miss out on experiencing pixel-perfect precision — read on!

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been frustrated by pixelation issues when trying to re-size an awesome image from Midjourney.

Frustration be gone.

Vectorizer AI is a newish web-based platform that uses AI to convert your JPEGs and PNGs into scalable vector graphics.

Currently free in its Beta stage, this tool is a must-try for anyone trying to make money with digital art.

Why bitmaps suck and vectors are better

Bitmap images like JPEGs and PNGs are made up of pixels, tiny squares that form the image.

This isn’t necessarily a problem in and of itself, but Midjourney outputs images in a defined set of resolutions.

It’s incredibly common for users to need image resolutions larger than the Midjourney defaults, but if you try to re-size a bitmap image, it’s going to end up looking like a Crypto Punk.

Vectorizer AI takes these pixel-based images and transforms them into vector formats, which are scalable and maintain their quality at any size.

Want to use your Midjourney image for web design? You’re probably going to need a vector.

Want to print that ultra-minimalist post-modern conceptual art design? You guessed it — you’re probably going to need to vectorize it to upscale it.

How to vectorize your images

The tool itself is ridiculously easy to use.

Pick, Process, and Download.

Here’s how it works:

1. Picking an image

Simply drag and drop a bitmap image (JPEG, PNG, etc) into the upload interface.

As we’ve discussed, these input formats are pixel-based, meaning they’re made up of tiny squares, each with its own color.

2. Processing the image

Behind the scenes, Vectorizer AI’s powerful servers use GPUs and multi-core CPUs to analyze and transform your image.

Vectorizer AI processes images very quickly — this took about 5 seconds

The proprietary AI model convert the pixels into geometric shapes, creating a vector image that can be scaled without losing quality.

3. Downloading the result

Once processed, you can preview the vectorized image.

If you’re satisfied, go ahead and download it. Vectorizer AI supports multiple formats like SVG, PDF, EPS, DXF, and PNG for your convenience.

Choose from tons of formatting options to get the exactly what you need

Unique features of Vectorizer AI

Vectorizer also has a number of cool features that are important to understand for those of you that are interested in more advanced use cases.

1. Deep vector engine

Vectorizer AI is built on years of experience and cutting-edge AI networks.

This engine forms the core of the platform, ensuring high-quality vectorization.

2. Vector graph

The tool uses a computational geometry framework that allows for automated edits and localized optimizations, offering a level of precision that’s hard to find with other tools.

3. Full shape fitting

Going beyond basic Bezier curves, Vectorizer AI fits complex geometric shapes for a perfect and consistent result.

4. Curve support

The platform supports a wide range of curve types, from straight lines to circular arcs, providing a versatile approach to vectorization.

5. Clean corners and high performance

Vectorizer AI optimizes every corner for a natural look while utilizing state-of-the-art technology to deliver quick results.

6. Sub-pixel precision

The platform can detect features less than a pixel wide, ensuring that no detail is lost in the conversion process.

And… it’s free!

Vectorizer AI is currently in beta and isn’t charging, so you can take advantage of the capabilities for $0.

The company has plans to charge for API access starting in September 2023, but does not currently plan to charge for the web-based service.

So, whether you’re a designer, a marketer, or someone who simply enjoys digital creativity, Vectorizer AI is a tool you’ll want to have in your arsenal.
