For this looking to vectorize raster image: Corel Draw is a good tool I used to use.
albeit, it is heavy tool that comes with lots of feats.

#33We need a way to define precision of the grid.
What do you mean? You can change the interval for the tick mark labels.

#34I wonder how easy it would be to add a "Save as NAPLPS" option.

If you search for ‘vectorization AI’ there are a handful of specialized tools and apis that can do it. It worked well for a handful of logos I wanted to convert. Nano banana generated the raster logos, and these other tools vectorized them
I haven't seen one that worked properly—can you list a couple examples? Some of the ones that say they're "AI" are just VTracer / Potrace and don't give nice control points.
I liked the results of vectorizer.ai and recraft.ai
Input image is important too. When working with the generalist LLM on the raster art, give it context that you are making a logo, direct it to use strokes and fills and minimal color palette, readable at small sizes, etc.

#36Very cool! I wish more editors would exist as web services, easily solving the cross-platformity that way.
I'm in the opposite camp. Give me some local tool that does disappear when the maintainer moves to the next thing. Well and I can eat the cake as well, make it some native app that has proper performance.
But it is local, it's just a web service.

This isn't a web service. It's a browser-based tool that runs entirely on your device. It's published as a static site on GitHub Pages, and ("but"?) everything it's doing is all happening fully in-browser.
It is a web service. It is just a simple one that doesn't need to execute any stuff on backend/server.

#38Useful! I like that it does not produce crude floating point numbers, but keeps the clean integers.

vectorizer.ai is amazing. It's worked great for like over 10 years (back when it had a name like vector magic or something). I'm super curious how it's implemented
Re: SVG Path Editor
#40I have tried to use ChatGPT and Google's Gemini to make SVG from simple logos bitmaps but its still a daunting task for them, so I guess tools like this one will still be needed for a while.
SVG is often relatively complex and dense.
A dedicated or fine tuned model for just SVGs would be pretty wild.
