About Victorizer

The Problem

Converting raster images to scalable vectors has traditionally required expensive desktop software, manual parameter tuning, and design expertise. Existing online tools produce noisy, bloated SVGs that need extensive cleanup. There had to be a better way.

Our Approach

Victorizer combines a proven image processing pipeline — Sharp for preprocessing, Potrace for bitmap tracing, and SVGO for optimization — with AI-powered analysis. Claude Vision examines each image to recommend the optimal tracing parameters, removing the guesswork from vectorization.

Technology

Built on a modern full-stack architecture with an Express backend, React frontend, and worker-threaded processing pipeline. The vectorization runs in isolated worker threads to keep the server responsive, while the AI analysis provides intelligent defaults for every image type.

Key Capabilities

• 5 tracing modes — layered, posterize, B&W, color, and outline
• Sprite sheet extraction — auto-detect and individually vectorize sprites
• Smart editor — remove text, extract subjects, clean up before tracing
• AI analysis — Claude Vision recommends optimal settings per image
• SVGO optimization — minimal file size with maximum visual fidelity
