With the newly imported image selected, click Path > Trace Bitmap.Ī dialog window will appear. An import dialog will pop-up, click OK to accept the defaults.
In Inkscape, click File > Import and locate the image you just saved. You can search for images online or take a digital photo of a line drawing you made. High contrast images work best such as black and white line drawings, outlines, and silhouettes. If you haven’t yet installed Inkscape, download it for free (Mac, Windows, or Linux) and then run the installer. This will convert the pixels of the bitmap into line paths that a machine (like a lasercutter) can follow. In this how-to we will show you how to trace a bitmap image in Inkscape to create a vector image. Inkscape is a free vector drawing program that can be used for creating design files for CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machines such as a lasercutter, electronic (vinyl) cutter, milling machine and more.
