Earns its place in the superhive library by handling the full image-to-vector path inside Blender, with live preview, batch tracing, and calibrated SVG export in one add-on.
Quick Image Vectorizer Pro is a Blender add-on from Gsoos that turns a 2D image into a clean 3D mesh or curve without leaving the application. It accepts PNG, JPG, BMP, and other common image formats, producing a scaled vector object with a single click. It's built for motion designers, game artists, and anyone working with icons and illustrations.
A live threshold preview updates in real time in the 3D viewport, so you can see what will be traced before committing. You can trace a single image or process an entire folder in batch, with each image becoming its own named object organized in collections. Output can be exported as mesh or curve, with a one-click Solidify modifier for thickness and the option to fill faces or keep outlines. A named preset system stores threshold, smoothness, and simplify values for reuse across projects, and a reference image overlay keeps the original visible while you work.
An experimental Color Trace mode separates an image into color layers, each with a matching material. Calibrated SVG export outputs real-world dimensions in millimeters. Requires Blender 4.0 or later; released under the GPL license.
Quick Image Vectorizer Pro is best for motion designers, game artists, and anyone working with icons and illustrations who needs to turn 2D images into 3D meshes or curves inside Blender.
Quick Image Vectorizer Pro is completely free to download and use.
Quick Image Vectorizer Pro accepts PNG, JPG, BMP, and other common image formats. Drop an image in and it produces a scaled vector object as a mesh or curve with a single click. A live threshold preview updates in real time in the 3D viewport, so you can adjust the threshold slider and see what will be traced before committing. Single images and entire folders are both supported in batch, with each image becoming its own named object organized in collections.
Quick Image Vectorizer Pro requires Blender 4.0 or later and is listed for Blender versions 4.0 through 4.5. It runs inside Blender, so you can convert images without leaving the application. It also relies on Potrace: the add-on bundles Potrace for Windows, while macOS users install it via brew install potrace and Linux users via sudo apt install potrace. Check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.
Quick Image Vectorizer Pro includes an experimental Color Trace mode that automatically separates an image into color layers, giving each layer its own object with a matching material. It works best with flat illustrations and solid colors. Alongside it, the add-on offers calibrated SVG export that outputs a clean SVG with real-world dimensions in millimeters, ready for laser cutters, plotters, or Illustrator. Standard output can also be exported as mesh or curve with a one-click Solidify modifier for thickness.
Quick Image Vectorizer Pro is listed as free in this catalog, and it's released under the GPL license. For current licensing terms and any conditions of use, check the developer's page. On the technical side, it requires Blender 4.0 or later and Potrace, which is bundled for Windows and installed separately on macOS and Linux. Once set up, it converts images into meshes or curves directly inside Blender.
