Get Started NowFrequently Asked Questions
Will vectorization change the look of my hand-drawn art?
Our AI is designed to preserve artistic character, not over-smooth it. Unlike basic vectorization that creates sterile, perfect paths, we maintain the organic imperfections that make hand-drawn work appealing. The result looks like a high-quality digital version of your original sketch, not a lifeless trace.
What types of hand-drawn art work best?
Works great with pen sketches, pencil drawings, marker art, brush lettering, hand-drawn logos, doodles, and illustrations. Best results with clear, well-defined lines. Scan or photo your artwork at high resolution (300+ DPI recommended) for optimal vectorization.
Can I vectorize rough sketches or do they need to be refined?
Both work! Rough sketches create more organic, loose vectors. Refined drawings produce cleaner results. Many artists vectorize rough concepts to see them at scale, then refine and re-vectorize. The choice depends on your artistic intent.
How do I get my hand-drawn art into digital format first?
Either scan your artwork with a flatbed scanner (best quality) or photograph it with good lighting. Ensure the page is flat, evenly lit, and captured at high resolution. Clean white backgrounds work best. Then upload the scan/photo to our tool for vectorization.
Can I edit the vector after conversion?
Absolutely! The SVG output opens in any vector editor (Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity Designer). Adjust paths, change colors, combine elements, or refine details. Use vectorization as your starting point, then customize to perfection.
Is this good for converting hand-drawn logos?
Perfect for it! Many designers sketch logo concepts by hand first. Vectorize your sketches to present concepts to clients at any size. Once approved, use the vector as your base file for refinement. Preserves the authentic hand-crafted aesthetic that makes custom logos special.
Can I sell products with my vectorized hand-drawn art?
Yes! Full commercial license included. Turn your sketches into prints, t-shirts, stickers, mugs, or any product. Vector format is ideal for print-on-demand, merchandise, and physical products. Your hand-drawn art becomes scalable commercial assets.
Will this work for hand-lettering and calligraphy?
Definitely! Hand-lettering, brush lettering, and calligraphy vectorize beautifully. The AI preserves the flow and character of your letterforms. Perfect for creating usable fonts, wedding invitations, branding, and typography products from your hand-lettered work.

Why Vectorize Hand-Drawn Art?
The Power of Sketching
Many artists and designers prefer sketching by hand - it's faster, more natural, and captures creative energy better than digital tools. Hand-drawn work has authentic character and warmth that purely digital art often lacks.
The Digital Reality
But modern applications require digital files - websites, print, products, presentations. Photos of sketches look unprofessional and don't scale. You need vector format for professional delivery while keeping your hand-drawn aesthetic.
Best of Both Worlds
Vectorization bridges the gap. Create with the freedom and speed of hand-drawing, then digitize for professional use. Your sketches become scalable, editable, and client-ready while maintaining the organic character that makes them special.
Portfolio & Commerce
Vector format lets you showcase hand-drawn work in digital portfolios, sell as prints or products, license to clients, and use across all media. Your art becomes truly versatile.

Tips for Best Results
✓ Use Dark, Clean Lines
Black ink, dark pencil, or markers give clearest results. Faint pencil lines are harder to vectorize accurately. For best results, go over light sketches with pen or marker before scanning.
✓ Scan at High Resolution
300 DPI or higher captures detail that helps AI understand your linework. Higher resolution means more accurate vectorization, especially for intricate or small artwork.
✓ Clean Background
White paper works best. Remove smudges, erase stray marks, ensure even lighting when scanning. Clean input = clean output. A few minutes of prep creates significantly better results.
✓ Embrace Imperfection
Hand-drawn character comes from slight imperfections - wobbly lines, texture, organic flow. Don't over-correct. These "flaws" are actually features that make your work unique and appealing.
