Why Switch from Scan2CAD?

  • Browser-based, works on any device — Scan2CAD is a Windows or macOS install, with nothing for Linux or Chromebook
  • AI-powered tracing in 2-5 seconds — Scan2CAD has slower batch processing
  • No learning curve — Scan2CAD has a complex interface designed for CAD professionals
  • Modern AI engine with closed contours and smooth curves — Scan2CAD uses older tracing algorithms

Frequently Asked Questions

Is VectoSolve as accurate as Scan2CAD?

VectoSolve returns closed contours and smooth Bézier curves on logos, icons, and illustrations. Scan2CAD is designed specifically for technical drawings and CAD conversion — it excels at architectural plans and engineering diagrams. For general image vectorization, VectoSolve is faster and more cost-effective.

Can VectoSolve replace Scan2CAD for CAD work?

For general vectorization (logos, illustrations, photos), absolutely. For technical CAD drawings that need DXF/DWG output with precise dimensioning, Scan2CAD remains specialized. VectoSolve outputs SVG, PNG, PDF, and EPS.

Why is Scan2CAD so much more expensive?

Scan2CAD targets enterprise CAD users with specialized features (DXF/DWG conversion, OCR, dimensioning). Most users who need image-to-vector conversion don't need these CAD-specific features. VectoSolve covers 95% of vectorization needs at 2% of the cost.

Does VectoSolve work on Mac?

Yes — VectoSolve is browser-based and works on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPad, and Chromebook. Scan2CAD is Windows-only, requiring Parallels or Boot Camp on Mac. VectoSolve eliminates this platform restriction entirely.
