How to Trace a Bitmap to Vector Image in CorelDRAW

CorelDRAW Trace Outline

You can use CorelDRAW Trace Outline to convert a Bitmap to a Vector Graphic. This uses the CorelDRAW 2019 Trace but this will work with earlier versions of CorelDRAW as well.
In this CorelDRAW tutorial I show you how to use CorelDRAW Trace.

Thanks very much, George.That was a brilliantly taught and very useful lesson.
Question - On the left ear gradient in the vector image on the right, the final result has some jaggies and a thin white line in the outer part of the image you worked on (where the dark red is adjacent to the black).
The original seems to have that, too. Is there any way of getting rid of that?

Hey. I have a vinyl cutting machine and want to have a better place to make my designs. What kind of Coreldraw do you use? Would the CorelDRAW Home & Student Suite 2019 work ? There are so many different ones.

How do you remove those white outlines after doing the trace bitmap around the objects? those outlines don't have any color so they show the white background instead.

Hey the George, i checked your website it's hard to navigate on mobile devices. I can help you revamp your website to a responsive one. And I want to learn Corel draw from you and ask a few doubts

[ireneclements]

How do I bring in the raster graphic to even start doing this. I would really like to be able to convert quilt block images to vector first and then learn to draw as I am a newbe

[coryhelm]

I have the trial version and Im trying to work along. I imported the image but the tool bar is different that the one you are using. It doesnt have the bitmaps-outline trace-clipart

[crazykidzfamilyandpets]

I am having trouble with a image with a black background I want removed. It's only a Initial and two words but I can't seem to figure out how to just trace and removed the background..

I have paid for your CorelDraw




I have paid for your CorelDraw Graphs Suite 2019 course also. I was trying to convert a jpg log cabin image high quality image and I tired every option you showed in your video but I was able to export/save as a svg but I always received an Issue 1 telling me that it was still an jpg image and it would be saved that way and programs would not recognize it as a svg file and they do not. I also tried the convert to bitmap method mentioned below and it does the same thing. Would you please explain what I need to do to get it to work.

why not use convert to bitmap and select 300 to 500 dpi on the 72 dpi image I use this all the time
