Comparison
SVG.new vs Vectorizer.AI
Both tools convert raster images to SVG vectors using AI. But SVG.new gives you a free tier, a built-in editor, and an API — without locking everything behind a paywall.

Key differences
Why teams choose SVG.new
Free tier, no credit card
SVG.new gives you 3 free conversions per day. Vectorizer.AI ended their free beta and now requires a paid subscription for any use.
Built-in vector editor
After converting your image, refine the result directly in the browser. Adjust paths, simplify colors, and tweak your SVG before downloading. Vectorizer.AI only gives you the raw output — any edits require a separate tool.
API + MCP server for AI agents
Integrate vectorization into your pipeline with a simple REST API. Or let AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf convert images to SVG autonomously using the SVG.new MCP server — a capability no other vectorizer offers.
Export to SVG, PNG, DXF, EPS, AI, PDF
SVG.new supports exporting to six formats from a single conversion. Need a DXF for your laser cutter and a PNG for your website? Download both. Vectorizer.AI outputs SVG only.
FAQ
Common questions
Is SVG.new really free?
Yes. SVG.new offers a free tier with 3 conversions per day. Vectorizer.AI removed their free tier after their beta ended.
How does the quality compare to Vectorizer.AI?
Both tools produce high-quality vector output. SVG.new uses modern AI tracing that produces clean paths with smooth curves, comparable to or better than Vectorizer.AI for most use cases.
Does SVG.new have an API like Vectorizer.AI?
Yes. SVG.new offers a full REST API for programmatic conversions, plus an MCP server that lets AI agents like Claude and Cursor call SVG.new directly.
Can I edit my SVG after converting?
Yes. SVG.new includes a built-in vector editor where you can adjust paths, change colors, and refine your output before downloading. Vectorizer.AI does not offer any editing tools.
