Image Trace
Image Trace
Image Trace lets you convert raster images (JPEG, PNG, PSD etc.) to vector artwork. Using this feature, you can easily base a new drawing on an existing piece of artwork by tracing it. For example, you can convert the image of a pencil sketch you've drawn on paper into vector artwork using Image Trace.
The image on the left is drawn in pencil and then scanned and opened in Illustrator.
The image on the right has been Image Traced and is now a vector line drawing that can be manipulated.
1
Open or place a raster image in your Illustrator document.
2
Click the Image Trace button in the Control panel or the Properties panel
3
Adjust the results of the tracing in the Image Trace panel (Window > Image Trace).
Use the Presets to select how your vector graphic will look.
Adjust the threshold to change how Illustrator treats the dark and light areas of the image.
4
To convert the tracing object to paths and to manually editing the vector artwork, choose Object > Image Trace > Expand.
