brother you are a legend across times. I have traveled thru time and back to tell you that this video: has raised an army right around the millions of graphic designers.

I have watched so many tutorials and none have suggested just hitting the points and then reshaping. Ah! Such a great tip

[Saigemeister]

Amazing tutorial. Straightforward, to the point, and shows you the technique on a simple logo, which can be applied to more complex geometries/shapes. Great job!

[ravinderjeetsingh]

Thank you again Dear, You made it simple.❤❤.

[tonyabennett]

how can you do this on photos with people ?

[dilbefikree]

exam in one hour, thank you so much👌🏻🤍

[gkillmaster]

Thank you. How do you export the file as a vector?

I need help about something. I want to convert a logo to vector. I will do this with the method you mentioned, but I cannot separate the space in words that contain the letter "A". I can only draw the outer part of the letter A.

I would have helped if you had done a more complex image. I think most people want to vectorize images that have multiple colors and/or patterns and lettering. I mean - this was simple and basic, but most people are searching this term for how to turn complex jpgs and pngs to vector images. So is it better to just design the vectors in Inkscape in the first place? I make and design replica dollhouse miniatures in Procreate. So I'm recreating like the Doritoes logo in miniature and using gradients, multiple colors, and text. The images are are very large so I thought they would shrink down very well and be legible, but when I took my 12x12 inch image and reduced it to 1x1 inch - you couldn't read any of the words or see any of the variations in color or the details very well - which led me to my search for how to convert these images to vector and how I ended up here. There's no way I'm going to redraw all of those elements like you did here - I'd be here forever redrawing all my minis. Sigh. Thought there was some free software or something you could just drag and drop and it would automatically convert it. Again, is it better to just design in Inkscape from jump? Will the images automatically be vectorized if I design it Inkscape or will I still have to do some extra step?

Let's I already have a vector mask, or a well made path in Photoshop. How do I transfer that data into inkscape?

[hilarysutherland]

Isn't this tracing over the image? Is there a way to have the program do it for you, without redrawing? The Twitter Bird is a simple object to trace. Not so easy with something more complex

[ralphriddell]

Hello I like your video however I need to ask a question I am clicking the same tools that you are in inkscape but when I click the line drawing tool that you use first use I get all these handles appearing in the lines just go everywhere if you know what I mean should I be unclicking something somewhere else ? 🙏

[Aharon_I]

Why you do not use
path -> trace bitmap?

[hothmobile]

after I draw my curves lines and then use the selector tool and then delete the old image, I can't find my newly formed lines. Is there a panel I need to open to see it?

[blurryface]

Hi, I hope you notice this, I have tried this but when I save the image, as jpeg or png, the lines are pixelated, and its noticeable even when zoomed out, any help with this?

[pikachusolu]

can you take a rastor image and turn it into vector? i dont mean outlining and creating a new vector like you did here... i mean just take a rastor logo and turn it into vector without using drawing tool

[TastyPancakes]

"this is the twitter logo, obviously" well things have changed lol

Thanks for the helpfull tutorial :)

[thefivekingdoms]

Incomplete tutorial. How do you export so that the vector still retains its crispiness?

[paulcovert]

Why are all my lines thick ? I cannot get thin lines

[wanderer.]

Well...all tutorial are with simple shapes... try to convert a detalied black/white drawing from raster to vector and it will fail
