Why JPGs need special treatment
JPEG compression adds faint blocks and halos around edges. A naïve tracer turns each of those into a tiny shape, producing a messy, oversized SVG. The Remove specks control discards those fragments, and Colour detail merges near-identical shades so your vector stays clean.
Settings that work for JPG to vector
- Logos saved as JPG: Logo preset, Remove specks 6–10.
- Scanned sketches: Line art preset for pure black and white.
- Photos: Photo preset, then lower Colour detail for a poster look.
- If the JPG has a background, remove it first with the background remover.
