Why Choose This Free Photoshop Alternative?

Save $700+ Per Year

Adobe Photoshop costs $54.99/month ($660/year) or Creative Cloud at $59.99/month ($720/year). If you primarily need vectorization, why pay for features you don't use? Our tool focuses on doing one thing exceptionally well at a fraction of the cost.

Faster Than Photoshop

Photoshop's Image Trace feature requires multiple steps: open file, select Image Trace, adjust settings, expand, clean up. Our AI does all this instantly and produces cleaner results.

No Learning Curve

Photoshop has thousands of features and a steep learning curve. Our interface is simple: upload image, download vector. Perfect for business owners, marketers, and anyone who needs vectors without becoming a Photoshop expert.

Better AI Technology

Our AI is specifically trained for vectorization, producing cleaner paths and better edge detection than Photoshop's general-purpose Image Trace feature.
