Ideogram Vector 1 Vectorizer

Ideogram Vector 1 Vectorizer: Image to SVG

What is Ideogram Vector 1 Vectorizer?

Ideogram Vector 1 Vectorizer is the image-to-SVG half of Ideogram's first vector model, the company's first model that writes a true vector file instead of pixels. Upload a single raster image (JPEG, PNG or WebP) and it traces the artwork into a clean, editable SVG made of individual shapes and paths, with no prompt required. Because the result is a real .svg (image/svg+xml), it scales from a tiny label to a full poster with crisp edges at every size, and every shape can be recolored or refined in a vector editor.

Key Features

• •True image-to-vector conversion: raster in, editable SVG out, no prompt needed.
• •Accepts JPEG, PNG and WebP sources up to 25MB.
• •A single detail control: default preserves fine detail; simple draws fewer, larger shapes for a lighter file.
• •Resolution-independent output, so shapes stay sharp at any scale and remain individually editable.
• •Converts flat artwork, logos, icons and illustrations faithfully, gradients included.

Best Use Cases

Reach for the vectorizer whenever an existing graphic needs to leave the screen. Convert a legacy logo or wordmark into a scalable mark for signage, merchandise, cut files or embroidery; turn a flat illustration, mascot or sticker into editable shapes; rebuild icons and badges as crisp, recolorable vectors; and prepare print-ready art that resizes without pixelation. Default mode suits detailed artwork with thin lines and small elements, while simple mode suits bold, poster-like designs where a lighter file matters.

Prompt Tips and Output Quality

There is no prompt here, so quality starts with the input. Clean, flat artwork converts best: logos, icons, illustrations and stickers with solid color regions and clear edges. Photographic, noisy or heavily textured images are harder to trace and lose fidelity, and any garbled text in the source is traced as-is, so start from the sharpest version you have. In testing, a flat sticker illustration became a 181KB SVG of roughly 293 editable paths with gradients preserved and edges crisp at any zoom. Choose default to keep detail, or simple for a lighter, bolder result.

How to Use Ideogram Vector 1 Vectorizer

Ideogram Vector 1 Vectorizer converts a single raster image into a true, editable SVG, with no prompt. The workflow is short: provide one image, choose a detail mode, and receive a scalable vector file.

Step 1: Provide your image

Set image to a JPEG, PNG or WebP (up to 25MB) via URL. The vectorizer traces whatever is in the picture, so start from the cleanest version you have. Flat artwork, such as logos, icons, illustrations and stickers with solid color regions and crisp edges, converts most faithfully. Photographic or noisy images are lossier, and any text in the source is traced exactly as it appears.

Step 2: Choose a detail mode

mode is the one quality lever. Use default to preserve fine detail, including thin lines, small elements and gradients, which is best for detailed artwork. Use simple to draw fewer, larger shapes for a cleaner, lighter SVG, which suits bold, poster-like designs and smaller files. Both modes cost the same, so switch freely to compare results.

Step 3: Use the output

The result is a real .svg (image/svg+xml) made of individual, editable shapes. Open it in Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape or any vector tool to recolor, resize or refine shapes. It scales from a small label to a billboard without pixelation and is ready for print, signage, cut files and embroidery.

Recommended Settings

• •Clean flat artwork, maximum fidelity: mode: default. Tested end to end, a flat sticker illustration returned a roughly 293-path SVG with gradients preserved and crisp edges at any scale.
• •Bold logos or simpler shapes, lighter file: mode: simple.
• •Always upload the sharpest source available; the vectorizer cannot add detail the input lacks.

To draw a vector from a text description instead of an image, use the sibling model Ideogram Vector 1.

Examples to try

Each example below ran end to end through the vectorizer at the settings shown; the source image and detail mode carried over exactly, and every run returned a true, editable SVG (image/svg+xml).

• •Image to SVG at full detail. Settings: mode: default on a flat sticker rover-robot illustration. The raster becomes a ~293-path SVG with the sky gradient and fine details (antenna, stars, planet ring) kept crisp at any zoom. Tip: start from the cleanest flat art, since the tracer cannot add detail the source lacks.
• •Simple mode for a lighter file. Settings: mode: simple on that same rover source. Simple mode traces the same art to ~95 paths, about a third of default's file size, with fewer and larger flat shapes. Tip: pick simple for lighter files or bolder shapes, and default to keep thin lines.
• •Logo and wordmark to a scalable mark. Settings: mode: default on a flat "PINE RIDGE" camp badge. The badge converts to a crisp mark with legible lettering, a double-ring border and flat fills, each shape recolorable. Tip: upload the sharpest logo so it traces into sign-, merch- and cut/embroidery-ready shapes.
• •Icon sheets with every symbol editable. Settings: mode: default on a 2x3 dessert icon grid. Each of the six icons becomes a separate, crisp flat shape (~365 paths total). Tip: vectorize a whole sheet in one pass, then ungroup in Illustrator or Figma to recolor single symbols.

More art the vectorizer is built for, by uploading a clean raster and choosing a mode: "a flat mascot sticker", "a monoline line-art icon", "a hand-drawn logo cleaned up as flat art", or "a bold poster graphic in simple mode".

Does it need a prompt?

No. You upload one image and it returns an SVG.

What formats can I upload?

JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 25MB.

What is the difference between the modes?

Default preserves fine detail; simple draws fewer, larger shapes for a lighter file.

What do I get back?

A true, editable SVG file (image/svg+xml) made of individual shapes.

Can it edit the SVG afterwards?

No. Re-run it, or edit the file in your own vector tool.

How is it different from Ideogram Vector 1?

The sibling draws an SVG from a text prompt; the vectorizer converts an existing image with no prompt.
