Scan or photograph your line art and get clean, scalable vector lines — perfect for print, cutting and further editing.
Left: a compressed JPEG. Right: the clean SVG from Shapesoda. Drag to compare.
Ink drawings, pencil sketches, calligraphy and signatures are a perfect match for vectors: they are mostly one color on paper. Shapesoda separates the lines from the paper, smooths away the grain and keeps the character of each stroke, so a scanned or photographed drawing becomes a clean vector you can color, enlarge or cut.
Shapesoda traces the outline of each stroke, so lines become filled shapes that keep their varying thickness — the way a pen or brush drew them. It does not produce single center-line paths for engraving pens; for laser cutting and printing the filled outlines are usually what you want.
Smooth Bézier curves with only the nodes the shape needs. Easy to edit and cut.
Color fades become real SVG gradients you can edit.
SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, DXF and PNG from one result.
Connect Shapesoda to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Recolor, draw, pick colors or remove shapes. No Illustrator needed.
Send a JPG or PNG, get an SVG back. Add vectorization to your app.
Yes. Use Two colors, remove the background shape and download SVG or PDF with a transparent background.
Yes, if the lighting is even. Shadows and paper curvature may show up as extra shapes; raise the minimum shape size or remove them with the remove-shape tool.
Yes. Use the fill tool in Shapesoda, or open the SVG in any vector editor.
Without a plan, one credit is one downloaded image, in any format. The Personal plan needs no credits on the website; the API plan adds credits every month. Re-downloading the same image — even in another format — is free for 30 days.
Not while your API plan is active: unused credits roll over, up to 5 months’ worth. When the plan ends, its credits expire. The free credit for new accounts does not expire.
Only when you need it. The editor keeps your image in memory only while you work, and an API request for a single format keeps nothing. When you ask the API for several formats, request storage, or use the MCP server, the image and the results are kept for 24 hours, encrypted with a key that only you receive (anyone with the result link can download it), then deleted automatically. We never use your images to train models. The list of recent images on the start screen lives only in your browser.
You do. You keep all rights to the images you upload and to the vectors made from them — we claim none. Please upload only images you have the right to use.
