PNG, Portable Network Graphics, just as its name implies, is a widely used image format on the Internet. PNG is a raster image format, and it cannot maintain the image quality and clarity when being magnified. PNG to Vector Converter is a command line interface supported application that is for converting raster PNG to vector image, e.g., SVG.

This application is free for evaluation and you can download it here. After downloading the package, please unpack the package into your disk. The application does not require installation and you can directly use it via a MS-DOS command line prompt window.

Follow these steps to open a MS-DOS command prompt window in your Microsoft Windows system, [Start] [Run] input “cmd” press [OK]. You can change the default current path to the one with which the application is saved, and then you can run the application with calling its name “Raster2Vector”.

A basic usage of command line for the application is as follows,
>Raster2Vector raster.png vector.svg .

These commands can convert the raster PNG image “raster.png” to vector image “vector.svg”. The below two figures are the effect snapshots for displaying the difference between the raster PNG image and converted vector SVG image.

The above figure is an effect snapshot of the source raster PNG image. You see that the curves cannot keep smooth when the image is magnified.

The next figure is the effect of converted SVG vector image. You see that the curves and lines can remain smooth no matter how the image is magnified.

PNG to Vector Converter have two kinds of authentication. One is a server license with which you can run this application on your server, and the other is a developer license with which you can redistribute this application with your software.
