Tracepen turns a raster image (PNG, JPG, WebP) into clean vectors in your browser – export SVG, PNG, PDF, or DXF (Lines, Hatch, Faces) for Figma, Cricut, Lightburn, CNC, AutoCAD, SketchUp, or Blender. A deterministic tracer (no AI). Free for 2-colour SVG / PNG; sign in with a 3dshouse account for every format at unlimited colours.

Features
- Many export formats – SVG (Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape), PNG, PDF, DXF Lines (Cricut, Lightburn cut, CNC), DXF Hatch (Lightburn fill), DXF Faces (SketchUp, Blender, Rhino).
- Auto photo / graphic detection – suggests a colour count; slide from 2 (black & white) up to the maximum.
- Per-layer editing – toggle visibility, change a layer’s hex, adjust stroke / noise filter / minimum region size.
- Deterministic – ADU quantization → Mumford-Shah merge → contour trace → Potrace Bezier fit. Same image in, same SVG out.
- Private free tier – 2-colour traces run entirely in your browser, no sign-up.
