A Working Model project
VectorSnap traces photos, sketches, logos, and paintings into clean vector pieces on iPad and iPhone. Tune the trace live, edit piece by piece, and export SVG your cutting machine understands. The tracing engine runs on your device: no uploads, no accounts, no waiting on a server.
Auto trace does the heavy lifting. Then every piece of the result is yours to recolor, restack, reshape, and cut.
Ink drawings, pencil sketches, logos and clip art, AI images, photo subjects, and watercolors. Each style is a tuned starting point, and every setting stays adjustable.
Drag the Colors, Detail, or Smoothness slider and the whole trace redraws in about a second. No apply button, no preview mode. What you see is the result.
VectorSnap picks colors from the image itself. Lowering the count combines similar shades first, so distinct colors survive. Pin a color and it never disappears, no matter how far you simplify.
Tap any piece to select it. Recolor it, hide it, lock it, restack it, merge it with its neighbors, or drag its points and curves until the shape is right.
Hand-trace over the faded original like tracing paper. Draw new pieces, place polygons, and erase two ways: instantly, or by painting a mask first so nothing is removed until you apply it.
Crop the source without losing the original, turn the design in 90° steps, and fix a crooked photo with a live straighten slider. Every adjustment survives re-traces.
Set the real-world size in inches or millimeters. Export Cricut-safe SVG, plus PNG, PDF, and DXF. Add a kiss-cut or die-cut line with the corner style and offset you want.
The tracing engine, the color pipeline, and the subject remover all run locally. Your art never leaves your hands, and the app works the same with no signal at all.
VectorSnap has no servers, no analytics, and no accounts. Tracing, color work, and subject removal all happen on-device. We never see your images.
