Affinity Designer 2.1 Vector Trace How to Turn JPG Image Into SVG Vector Graphics

The Auto Trace feature is still missing in Affinity Designer V2 but we can trace raster images manually, follow this tutorial to learn how.

I see a ton of comments hating that you go all the way and properly teach how to vectorize from scratch where most of the people just expected a faster and quicker way relying on AI, apps or other tools. I completely understand the frustration not having the auto trace tool from Adobe Illustrator can be. Imagine me after losing my MacBook and trying to learn using an iPad only with the affinity suite it’s takes time to learn learn tools on a new suite but it’s totally worth it. Great job my friend!

It sucks the app in 2023 still can't auto that's why I still go to Illustrator

Dude this is ridiculous. Please stop wasting people's time and be sneaky in your title. People nowadays need tools that do Auto Tracing not this old fashioned way of doing things. We love Affinity but we're are all losing patience. We need AUTO TRACE!

Nice job! Thank you for taking the time and creating this tutorial.

I haven’t done vector art in a while because of AI but I didn’t know the features of the shape builder tool.. They have really improved the work-flow for this type of work! I will jump back in later today!

The tutorial is good, but there's already so much software out there, that can convert pixelated images to lossless vector graphics, with one click .that it seems like the way it's done in the video is no longer appealing.

Couldn't you rasterize and in pixel view smart select copy in new document?

im looking to turn a very old logo, with irregular shapes of leaves into a vector

[mrglindsay]

What a PITA to trace an element. Should be like Adobe apps do it automatically.

My homework is to convert a drawing, and my signature from jpg to vector….. Everyone is using Illustrator, and it’s pretty much instant. I have Designer 2, which I have yet to learn, and there’s no translations in this class how to do this. - Sp just for clarity, I have to draw all of it with the pencil!?

How about real pictures? This bear has easy shapes a real pocture of a human head is a different story

[aarongoozman]

So you're just tracing the old image to make an entirely new picture? Okay.

Waist of time, do it now with a complex logo, that´s not the way to it.
