Originally developed as part of Stanford University’s Artificial Intelligence research project, VectorMagic is a web application that traces bitmap images, converting them into line art.

The conversions are of remarkably high quality and are extremely straightforward to produce. A Flash interface guides you through the simple steps of:
- identifying the type of image (photograph or logo)
- quality level of the source
- color pallete selection
Once the selections are made a vectorized image is produced. You are then given the option of going through a troubleshooting process to improve the image quality.

A rasterised png version of the traced image can be downloaded free of charge. As this is now a commercial venture, vector versions can only be downloaded after paying a token.
At the moment VectorMagic is only available as a web service, though a desktop application is in development.
