Side By Side
VectorizerKit vs Vectorizer.AI
Both let you trace and preview for free. They differ on what it costs to take a file home, and where your image goes.
The Short Answer
Vectorizer.AI is cheaper if you need unlimited downloads every month (US$9.99 against our US$12.99), and its output is widely regarded as the benchmark. VectorizerKit is the better fit if you need a few files rather than a subscription: your first 5 downloads are free, packs never expire, and your image never leaves your device.

Pick Vectorizer.AI If
You trace a lot, or you need an API
- You download enough every month that US$9.99 unlimited is the cheapest way to do it.
- You are tracing detailed illustrations or photos, where their deep-learning tracer is at its strongest.
- You want circles, arcs and symmetry detected as true geometry.
- You are building something that needs to vectorize images through an API.
Pick VectorizerKit If
You need a few files, not a subscription
- You want to download a finished file before paying anything: 5 are free.
- You need files now and then, and would rather buy a pack that never expires.
- Your artwork is a client's or unreleased, and you would rather it never left your computer.
- Your source is a PDF, which goes straight in here.
- You want to fix stray colours, recolour a shape or remove the background before you download.
Switching Takes One File
There is nothing to migrate. Drop the same PNG, JPG or PDF you would have uploaded there, compare the result, and only sign up when you want to download. The fairest test is free on both sites: trace the same image in each and keep the better file.

It fits real curves and detects true corners, so it produces fewer nodes and cleaner shapes. You get an SVG you can edit, not a mesh of slivers to untangle.
