Convert raster images into vector graphics. This app can: - Handle colored high resolution pictures, output colored graphics. - Handle binary black & white images, output B/W graphics. - Handle low resolution pixel art (pixel mode), great for retro game artworks. - Output in PNG or SVG format. - Run locally on your device without internet connection. Performance: screenshot images are usually processed very quickly. Camera photos with high resolution might take longer (1-2min). This app runs locally, and collects NO data, all images processed stay on your device, no image or meta data is sent to anyone. So yes, you can process whatever images without any privacy concern.
