Sketch to Vector App

June 2, 2023

Shaper Trace is a drawing toolkit with an app that turns any sketch or drawing into a vector graphic. All you need to do is place the Trace Frame over your sketch and take a picture and the Trace App will convert it into a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) suitable to send to a laser cutter, vinyl cutter, or CNC machine. Trace can capture the outline and the centerline of your sketch and export it to a vector image. Unlike a normal photo image taken with your phone, vector images can be scaled easily without distorting the image. A main feature is that Trace allows users to take a picture of a drawing at any angle without the need to be directly over the image. Trace will automatically flatten the image by removing perspective distortion. The capture area for the Trace is 7 x 10.5 inches (178mm x 268mm).
