I love Vector Magic, a free online vectorization tool. It is a really cool browser-based tool that can be used to turn a photograph into an illustration. It doesn’t always succeed in getting that look that you might be looking for, but it does a pretty good job. I usually just use it to play around with photos to see what Vector Magic can do with it, but it also can be very useful if you want to convert a photo into an illustration. I started to wonder how many other vectorization tools and software packages there were out there and I was surprised to find out that there are a ton o them. Basically, most of these tools turn Raster / Bitmap / Photo Images into Line Art / Illustrations / Vector Art. What you might be wondering is:
What is the difference between Raster and Vector Images?
There are many differences between vector and raster images. The main difference is that vector images are able to be stretched or shrunk without losing any quality within the image, while raster images cannot be stretched without looking pixelated and degraded in quality. The reason for this is that a vector image is really a mathematical equation and are composed of paths and lines and are either curved or straight. However, raster images are composed of pixels. For this reason, logos are normally vector graphics because they can be shown huge or small and still have the same quality. I hope that you can now see why vector graphics are loved by graphic designers. If you are still confused, here is a nice collection of Vector Vs. Raster Images Articles.
List of Vector Conversion Software - Tools to Turn Photos into Line Art and Illustrations

(Try for Free / Buy for $299) Real Draw Pro is not really a bitmap to vector software, rather a combination of both vector and bitmap together. Real-DRAW Pro happily combine vector, 2D, 3D and bitmap editing in one drawing package. It seamlessly moves from one form to another, eliminating time-consuming conversion operations and the need for multiple drawing packages. Unlike in a normal vector editor you can actually paint directly onto any vector object using airbrushes, 3D or Artistic brushes and special Image Nozzles. You can paint on the canvas and the strokes will become another object to which you can apply effects, just as with vector objects. No other program can do this. As if this isn’t enough, Real-DRAW can also be used as an SVG editor (Scaleable Vector Graphics supported by all XML enabled web-browsers) with import/export support of color fills, outlines and transparencies. You can even export the whole design into Adobe Photoshop keeping all the layers, transparency channels, shadow layers and layer names as you created them in Real-DRAW. There are many more features that I can’t even include them all here. Available for Windows OS.

(Approximately $90) Vextractor is a professional software for converting raster images to vector (vectorizer). Vextractor converts drawings, maps and other images, including photo, logos, black-and-white illustrations from raster to vector format. The program can save converted raster images to the following vector formats: DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS, AI or SVG. Files of these vector formats can be imported to popular vector graphics applications like AutoCAD, Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, and many others. Suppose you have an archive of a great number of raster drawings, pictures or logos, which you can only view and print. The possibility to convert that data to the vector format would be very helpful for your work. Now you can convert hand-made drawings to your graphic design, layout, or CAD application and save them to disk. If you have a hardcopy or raster image (photo), and you want to engrave a 3D inscription, logo or image on the metal, wood or plastic. Now you can convert the raster file to the input format (usually, dxf) for a CNC cutting or router system.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
TraceART is a professional raster to vector conversion program (Vectorizer) released by us. TraceART can let you quickly convert uneditable scanned paper drawings into accurate vector files for editing in any CAD program. It saves the converted file as an industry standard DXF file (Data Exchange Format) that can be read by any CAD program that supports this format. TraceART is a direct replacement for traditional tracing and digitizing, releases you from tiring work. CAD programs can only work with vector files. If you want to edit a raster file in your CAD program you must first convert it into a vector file. You do this using raster to vector conversion software. Once you have converted the raster file to vector you will be able to import it into your CAD program and edit it just like any other drawings you have created using you CAD program.

Wow, i didn’t know about some of these tools. Thats very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Great list of tools, thanks for the effort. You’ve got Real Draw priced at $299 but it’s only $55! Great piece of kit, I use it all the time.
None of these vectorizers supports gradient fills. Without it converting photorealistic rasters to vectors produces or ugly looking images, reminding cheap Japanese cartoons, or huge files, deserving the only option “exit without saving”. There are some methods, what can be an aid for creation small vectors, looking like their raster prototypes. Visit http://www.smartfills.com , where are placed some images and corresponding progs as well
AWESOME POST! It is about time to actually find a useful list these days. BRAVO on this one. Keep up the great work and bring us more ASAP

Maybe edraw max is another good vector graphics drawing software. It includes lot’s build in vector symbols and examples for creating business diagrams. Visit http://www.edrawsoft.com to learn more.
You do have a ton of software listed but one of the most obvious has been left out. I mean Corel Draw. Ver 13’s tracing options rock!
there’s nothing free about Vector Magic, unless you referred to the trial version, or the first two conversions on signing up. Prices are at:
http://vectormagic.com/pricing
it is really great, I have been looking a software that I remember is called vectorizer it will detect and identify any line and fonts, it has about 45,000 fonts enbeded, about 3 years ago was close to $700.00, but I can’t find it anywhere, but this information is to helpfull, I am impressed.
thanks.
Thanks, this is a great list.
TraceIT looks fantastic but sadly seems to be owned by Pangolin now. They’re the 800lb gorilla in the laser space.
Anyone know if there is a free download of TraceIT still available anywhere?
I want to convert .jpg to .ild
Thanks for sharing the link, but unfortunately it seems to be down… Does anybody have a mirror or another source? Please reply to my post if you do!
I would appreciate if a staff member here at http://www.allgraphicdesign.com could post it.
