Vectorize Image API
A real SVG from a logo, an illustration or a print: colour shapes, scalable to any size, editable in Illustrator.
/v1/generateworkflow: vectorize_image-v1One endpoint serves every workflow — this page documents vectorize_image-v1, the current version. Credits are debited at submission (1 cr standard, 1 cr pro); a failed generation is refunded automatically. Earlier versions of this endpoint, if any, keep being served under their own names.
| Parameter | Value for this workflow |
|---|---|
| workflow | "vectorize_image-v1" required |
| image | Image to vectorize — one public HTTPS URL.required |
| ratio | auto |
| tier | "standard" (1 cr) or "pro" (1 cr) |
| webhook_url | Optional — we POST the outcome here when the generation settles. Without it, poll the URL returned in the response until the status settles. |

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from sketch to SVG?
Sketch to SVG traces lines — for a technical flat, one path per stroke. Vectorize Image traces surfaces — colour shapes — which is right for a logo, an illustration or a print.
What images vectorize well?
Flat colours and clear edges: logos, illustrations, prints. Photos and gradients come back as many small shapes.
How much does it cost?
1 credit on the standard tier, 1 on pro. Credits come with plans and packs; a failed generation is always refunded.
