Turn a logo, drawing, icon or clip art into a clean SVG vector file — ready for cutting machines, laser cutters, vinyl and design apps. It all happens on your iPhone or iPad: nothing is uploaded. Pick an image and Vectorly traces it into smooth vector shapes you can zoom into forever. Holes stay open (the inside of an "O" or an "A" is cut out, not filled), and the result keeps the image's exact layout. • SINGLE COLOR — a one-color cut file: choose the threshold, or invert to cut the light parts instead. See-through areas are never cut, and a one-color logo on a clear background is traced from its shape. • COLORS — 2 to 8 colors, each on its own layer with its own fill color, largest shapes at the back. The background color is removed for you, or keep it. • DETAIL — from smooth, clean curves with few points to an exact trace of every edge. • REMOVE SPECKS — tiny dots and pinholes disappear, so the cut file stays clean. • SEE IT FIRST — compare the vector with the original, zoom in, and show every path before you decide. • EXPORT — a standard SVG, plus a vector PDF. • ANY IMAGE — PNG (including transparent), JPEG, HEIC and the first page of a PDF. Vectorly works best on logos, drawings, icons, text and clip art with clear edges. Photos are turned into flat, poster-style shapes — not photo-realistic vectors. Tracing and previewing are free. A one-time purchase unlocks exporting. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com
