Making vector out of bitmap image using Inkscape
In some cases I also have to do the design part of some websites. Something like logos, banner, t-shirts etc... The job is way easier with the free open-sourced tool names Inkscape. In this blog post I will show you the technique I used to convert a bitmap image to vector (not pixelated when scaling).
1. Import the bitmap image as embed:
>> File >> Import... >>
2. Select the image and choose Path >> Trace Bitmap... and set the settings as following:
* Color
* Stack scans
* Scan: 2
* Remove background (to make the background transparent)
>> click Update to preview
>> click OK to apply the trace:
3. Copy the created layer (the black one) into another Inkscape document, save it and you have a vector version of the original bitmap image:
Pretty cool huh? \m/
