Vectors

Straight out of Hector, untouched. Every detail at 8×, the PNG pixel for pixel.

How it works

Drop

Drop in a PNG, JPG or WEBP. There is nothing to set up and nothing to decide — Hector reads the picture and gets on with it.

Hector works

He finds the shapes, the colours and the shading in your picture and redraws them as smooth curves. You watch the progress bar; a few minutes for a detailed drawing.

Download

Check the whole result first: drag the blade, zoom in, look at the corners. Then take the SVG and open it in any design or cutting software.

What you get

Not a trace of the pixels. A rebuild of the picture, the way an illustrator would have drawn it.

Smooth curves, not staircases. Every edge comes out as a clean, flowing curve. Zoom in as far as you like: no jagged steps, no wobble, nothing that looks traced.

Colours and shading kept. Flat colours stay flat and soft shading stays soft. What went in is what comes out — only sharper, and made of shapes.

Nothing to clean up. No stray specks, no gaps between colours, no cracks of white. The file is ready to cut, print or hand over as it is.

Sharp at any size. From a favicon to a shop front. An SVG is shapes, not pixels, so it never goes soft.

Fully automatic. You tell Hector nothing at all. No thresholds, no colour counts, no sliders to fiddle with. Flat artwork comes back flat and shaded artwork comes back shaded, because Hector can see which it is.

Yours to edit. Real shapes with real colours. Opens in Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity, Cricut Design Space and Silhouette Studio, ready to recolour, resize or cut.

Made for people who make things

Print shops

Screen print and DTF. A customer's JPEG logo back as clean artwork, one shape per colour, ready for the screen.

Etsy sellers

Cut files that weed cleanly: smooth lines, closed shapes, no specks. Turn a design into a product this afternoon.

Cricut & Silhouette

Fills, not strokes, and one closed shape per colour — so Design Space and Studio take it as-is.

Designers

The brief arrived as a 400-pixel PNG of the logo. Have the vector back before the coffee is cold.

Questions

What can I upload?

PNG, JPG or WEBP up to 10 MB. Logos, drawings, cartoons, stickers, lettering and diagrams all convert well.

Will it work on my picture?

If it was drawn — by hand, in software or by an AI — yes. Photographs are not what Hector is for, and he will tell you so rather than hand you a mess.

What do I get?

An SVG: real shapes with real colours, editable in Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity Designer, Figma, Cricut Design Space and Silhouette Studio, and sharp at any size.

Does it keep transparency?

Yes. A transparent PNG comes back as an SVG with no background, so it drops straight onto a shirt, a sticker sheet or a web page.

How long does it take?

A few minutes, and you watch the progress as it happens. It is getting faster with every release.

Can I see the result before I pay?

All of it, at full size, in your browser: drag the blade across it, zoom in on the corners. Paying only unlocks the download.

What happens to my pictures?

Without an account a conversion is deleted after 24 hours. With one it is kept for a week and listed on your conversions. Nobody else sees them.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything happens on our servers and in your browser, on a laptop or a phone.
