Frequently Asked Questions

Is VectoSolve better than Inkscape Trace Bitmap?

For the conversion step, yes — VectoSolve AI produces cleaner results in 2-5 seconds with zero configuration. Inkscape Trace Bitmap requires manual adjustment of brightness cutoff, colors, smoothing, and often produces rough edges. For post-conversion editing, Inkscape remains excellent (and free).

Should I stop using Inkscape?

No! The best workflow combines both: use VectoSolve for fast, clean vectorization ($0.10/image), then open the SVG in Inkscape (free) for manual edits. This gives you the best quality with the fastest workflow.

Is Inkscape free while VectoSolve costs money?

Inkscape is completely free but requires installation, learning, and manual parameter tuning per image. VectoSolve costs $0.10/image with AI-optimized results in seconds. For many users, the time savings ($0.10 vs 15-30 minutes of manual work) make VectoSolve the better value.

Can I open VectoSolve SVGs in Inkscape?

Yes — VectoSolve outputs standard SVG 1.1 files fully compatible with Inkscape 1.x. Import, edit, and re-export seamlessly. Many users vectorize with VectoSolve, then do fine adjustments in Inkscape.
