Nice find!
It makes the continuous absence of a Trace tool, in Designer 2.4, even more unexcusable.
I have Inkscape installed, just to roundtrip to it for its AutoTrace.

The title gave me the wrong immersion. I thought that Affinity Designer had this feature now.

Im still using vectorizer, but i screenshot that image and then autotrace in corel draw. Its really saving my time

I found Photopea to be literally perfect. Honestly, better than vectorizer was (tbh it's been a few months since I used vectorizer).

In my case I always using Figma with tracing plugin, it was made by a creator so we need to pay, I think it was $5 at that time, and fully functional as expected to trace, even quite complex logo, and it has multicolor tracing too

Boring!!. Haven't they written in there terms "free, only for using the api"? Only for the betaversion - i believe. I'm using Vector Magic for more than a decade. But ist outdated and there is no further developement. It comes also from Cedar Lake ... 😞

[LizzieMayne]

Brilliant thank you. Is there a way of cleaning up the excess nodes whilst keeping the integrity of the shapes?

[MissIdolize]

Good demo, thanks. A bit off-topic, I know but can I ask who the black & white character with the top hat and swag bag is, or what he is related to if anything? Many thanks..

[katm]

can you use "transform all" on objects on different artboards?

[jeanrenaudviers]

Only fills, no strokes. Old Adobe trace did it.

[StillPictureProduction]

Try to leave Adobe because of subscriptions and then here we are 😂

I tried a new option. He does a lot worse with the vectorization process. Especially visible in the details.

[stephen_himself]

Very much doubt the image is not uploaded to a server and that it is done locally.

[sayitaintso]

He tagged it as affinity designer but using another program to do it lamer than lame...lol

Thanks, interesting video. How's Vector Magic vs Vectorizer? Because I see both services are operated by Cedar Lake Ventures

This subscription system is getting ridiculous
