Pattern Vectorizer
Turn a pixel-based pattern into clean vector paths you can scale, recolour and edit.
Vectorize a pattern →A pattern vectorizer traces the shapes in a raster design and rebuilds them as vector paths, so the artwork stays sharp at any print width. Textile Designer AI takes your pattern as a PNG, JPEG, TIFF or PSD file and returns SVG by default, or EPS for Illustrator and print workflows. You can cap the number of colours to keep the file simple, then open the result in your usual vector editor and keep working on real, editable paths.

Real-World Use Cases
Surface pattern designers
Convert a painted or scanned motif into vector form so it can be resized for anything from a small label to wide-width fabric.
Print-on-demand sellers and studios
Rescue a low-resolution JPEG of a pattern and get an editable file you can recolour and adapt for new products.
Mills and print houses
Prepare customer artwork for large-format output, such as 3-metre curtains, without the pixelation of enlarging a small raster.
How It Works
Upload the pattern
PNG, JPEG, TIFF or PSD, up to 50 MB. Flat colours and crisp edges trace most cleanly.
Choose format and colours
Pick SVG, EPS or PNG and, if you like, set a maximum colour count.
Edit the vector
Open the file in Illustrator, Inkscape or CorelDRAW and adjust nodes, colours and size as needed.
Key Features
Scales without loss
Vector output prints crisply at any width, so one file covers a label and a 3-metre curtain alike.
Fewer colours, simpler files
An optional colour cap reduces the number of shapes, which keeps the vector easier to manage.
Real editable paths
Output is standard vector paths rather than an embedded bitmap, so designers can keep refining it.
Format for the next step
SVG for most design tools, EPS for Illustrator and print RIPs, or a cleaned-up PNG.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to vectorize a textile design?
It means converting a pixel image into shapes defined by paths, so the design can be scaled and edited without blurring or jagged edges.
Which images vectorize best?
Flat-colour artwork with clean edges. Soft gradients and photographs turn into many small shapes, which makes the vector harder to work with.
Can I get an AI or PDF file?
Output is SVG, EPS or PNG. Illustrator opens SVG and EPS directly, and you can save as AI or PDF from there.
Does it make separations for screen printing?
It keeps colours as fills but does not create one plate per colour. Run Color Separation first for per-colour layers, then vectorize individual layers if you need vector plates.
