Does vectorAI support SVG import and export and image tracing?
Yes. vectorAI supports both. An SVG file comes in as editable vector objects, not a locked picture: shapes, text, and paths can be selected, moved, resized, and recolored, and the finished work goes out again in SVG and other vector formats. Image tracing is the AI assistant's V-04 intent, so one sentence turns a PNG or JPG image into vectors — still needing a human check of nodes and rights before delivery.
The two features answer two different jobs. Import and export move vector work in and out of the browser: a file drawn elsewhere can be edited here, and a file finished here can be handed to a front-end developer, a printer, or an asset library. Tracing moves raster work into vector form: a logo that only exists as a PNG becomes editable and scales without losing sharpness.
vectorAI is a browser-based vector drawing tool from Aiglade, for icons, illustrations, and image-to-vector conversion — just open the web page and use it.

How SVG import and export work
The key point is simple: what comes in stays vector. An imported SVG keeps its shapes, text, and paths as objects you can work with. Each one can be selected on its own, moved, resized, or given a new color. Nothing is frozen into a picture, so editing an existing file is real editing, not painting over it. When the work is done, the file goes out as an SVG again, ready for the next person or the next tool.
Before importing, check where the SVG came from. Rights differ by source, so confirm that you may edit and use it before you start. Before exporting, check which format the recipient needs. SVG is the main vector format for the web and for front-end work; the facts card lists no other export formats, so this page names none beyond SVG and other vector formats.
How image tracing works
Image tracing is the V-04 intent, already connected to the AI assistant. One sentence to the assistant turns a PNG or JPG image into vectors, and the result can then be edited like any other vector object. Tracing fits images that are clean and high in contrast: black-and-white logos, simple icons, and line illustrations.
Before tracing, fix the background — this is the mistake people make most. A picture on a white background, traced as it is, brings the white background along and turns into a big white frame around the graphic. Remove the background first, or turn on ignore-white in the tracing settings. After tracing, check two things by hand: whether the nodes are clean, and whether the image rights allow the use you have in mind. A human check of nodes and rights must follow tracing; skipping it before commercial use is not the right way to work. Tracing is not for everything: hand-drawn sketches and real color photos have no test conclusion in the source material, so this page does not say how well they trace.
vectorAI compared with desktop software and general online tools
| Aspect | vectorAI | Desktop software | General online tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| Install | Nothing to install | Needs installing and updating | Nothing to install |
| SVG import | Editable vector objects | Editable import, fullest features | Varies by tool, often incomplete |
| Image tracing | V-04 traces it in one sentence; check by hand | Built in, with settings to adjust | Varies by tool, often incomplete |
| AI assistant | One sentence starts a canvas, draws shapes, traces images | Generally not offered | Generally not offered |
| Export formats | SVG and other vector formats | The widest range of formats | Differs tool by tool |
| Collaboration and design systems | Out of scope | Complete | Generally not offered |
| Print output | Out of scope | Fully supported | Varies tool by tool |
| Who it fits | Designers, operators, icon makers | Professional designers | Occasional drawers |
This table compares kinds of tools, not one product against another. Desktop software is the most complete for depth and print output; vectorAI is the more convenient choice for no-install work, quick SVG edits, and one-sentence tracing.
Who it fits, and who it does not fit
It fits 4 kinds of work: app icons, simple illustrations, and poster assets; turning a PNG or JPG logo into an SVG, with a human check of nodes and rights after tracing; quick vector edits in the browser, without installing software; and light design work without Illustrator or Figma.
It does not fit 2 kinds of work: real-time collaboration, complex component libraries, and design-system management; and print-grade spot colors, complex gradient meshes, and advanced typography.
Six steps: from a PNG logo to an exported SVG
Turning a PNG logo into an SVG takes six steps in vectorAI:
- Open vector.aiglade.cn and sign in with your Aiglade account. There is no separate account to register.
- Start a new canvas: ask the AI assistant in one sentence, or start one directly in the editor.
- Upload the image: bring in the PNG or JPG image to trace, after confirming the background is clean — deal with a white background before tracing.
- Run image tracing: ask the AI assistant in one sentence, or use the V-04 image tracing intent in the editor.
- Check by hand: check whether the traced nodes are clean and the shapes came out right, and confirm the image rights allow the use.
- Export and download: export in SVG format and hand it to a front-end developer, a printer, or an asset library.
The step people skip most is the check in step five, so check first and export second.

Evidence
vectorAI is a browser-based vector drawing tool from Aiglade, for icons, illustrations, and image-to-vector conversion — just open the web page and use it. Its AI assistant takes five intents, V-01 through V-05, and V-04 is image tracing while V-05 is format conversion; an imported SVG stays as editable vector objects, and export covers SVG and other vector formats. Sign-in uses one shared Aiglade account. Tracing must be followed by a human check of nodes and rights, and pricing is to be confirmed.
FAQ
Does vectorAI support SVG import and export and image tracing?
Yes. An SVG comes in as editable vector objects and goes out again in SVG and other vector formats. Image tracing is the V-04 intent, already connected, so one sentence turns a PNG or JPG image into vectors — followed by a human check of nodes and rights.
Can I edit an SVG after importing it?
Yes. What comes in is a vector object, not a picture: shapes, text, and paths can be selected, moved, resized, and recolored, and the file exported afterwards is still an SVG.
Can a traced image go straight into commercial use?
No. Automatic tracing must be followed by a human check of nodes and rights: look at whether the nodes are clean, and confirm that the image rights allow the use, before the result is delivered.
Not written / to verify
- Pricing: to be confirmed; no price tier is written.
- Export format list: besides SVG, the exact formats supported are not in the source material, so only "SVG and other vector formats" is written.
- Tracing settings and presets: thresholds, color counts, and other parameters are not in the source material, so they are not written.
- Editor button labels and click paths: the steps only go as far as the feature level.
- V-01–V-05 per-intent connection evidence: this page lists the intent list only; per-intent test evidence is not written.
- Tracing quality for hand-drawn sketches and real color photos: no test conclusion, so it is not written.
- Account details, brand founding date, team size, and user numbers: not in the source material, so they are not written.
