Key Takeaways
- The VectoSolve Chrome Extension lets you vectorize any image on any website with one right-click
- Works on any image you can see in your browser — no downloading and re-uploading
- Available for Chrome and Firefox (Chromium-based browsers supported too)
- Same AI vectorization quality as the main app, directly in your browser
You are browsing a client's website and spot their logo in the footer. It is a PNG. They need it as an SVG for print. Normally you would: right-click, save image, open VectoSolve, upload, convert, download. Six steps.
With the Chrome Extension: right-click the image, click "Vectorize with VectoSolve." One step. The SVG is ready in seconds.
Why a Browser Extension?
Designers and developers encounter images that need vectorizing everywhere — not just in their own file system. Client websites, competitor analysis, design inspiration, stock photo previews, social media assets, documentation screenshots.
The extension brings vectorization to where you already are: your browser.
How It Works
Step 1: Install
Get it from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. Search for "VectoSolve" and click install. The extension icon appears in your browser toolbar.
Step 2: Right-Click Any Image
Navigate to any webpage. Right-click on any image — PNGs, JPGs, WebPs, even SVGs that you want to re-optimize. The context menu shows "Vectorize with VectoSolve."
Step 3: Convert
Click the menu option. The extension sends the image to VectoSolve's AI vectorization engine. In 5-15 seconds, your SVG is ready.
Step 4: Download
A preview opens showing the vectorized result. Download the SVG directly or open it in VectoSolve's dashboard for further editing, animation, or content generation.
Pro Tip: The extension works on images loaded from any source — even images embedded in CSS backgrounds, canvas elements, and inline base64 data URIs. If you can see it in your browser, you can vectorize it.
Real Workflow Examples
Client Logo Recovery
Your client's original logo files are lost. Their website has a 200x80 pixel PNG in the header. Right-click, vectorize, deliver a clean SVG back to them. Total time: 30 seconds.
Design Research
Browsing Dribbble for icon inspiration. See a style you want to reference. Vectorize the screenshot to get clean paths you can study and learn from in your vector editor.
Competitive Analysis
Reviewing competitor websites. Need their icon style as a reference? Vectorize a few examples to analyze path structures, stroke weights, and design patterns in your vector software.
Quick Asset Extraction
A developer needs SVG icons from a design system documentation page. Instead of requesting access to the Figma file, right-click each icon and vectorize. Ship the feature now.

Some extensions just trace screenshots. VectoSolve's extension sends the actual image data (not a screenshot of it) to the same AI vectorization engine that powers the main app. This means:
- Full resolution input. The extension grabs the original image file, not a screen-resolution capture
- Same quality as the web app. Identical AI processing pipeline
- Clean SVG output. Optimized paths, proper viewBox, minimal file size

The extension only activates when you explicitly right-click and select "Vectorize." It does not:
- Scan or analyze pages you visit
- Track your browsing history
- Access any data beyond the specific image you click
- Run in the background
The image is sent directly to VectoSolve's servers over HTTPS, processed, and the result is returned. No third parties involved.
Install the extension and start vectorizing with one click. Get it for Chrome or Firefox — it is free to install.
