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/
