The capture matters.
A flat scan is ideal, but a phone photo often works. Keep the sheet flat, the camera parallel and the light soft and even.
Vector Boy does not rearrange elements. Everything stays where it was drawn, which matters for lettering and compositions with several motifs.
Suitable source material
- Light the complete sheet evenly
- Keep the camera as parallel as possible
- Focus on the finest strokes
- Disable automatic portrait or beauty processing
Step by step.
- Load the image and begin in result view.
- Adjust black level, contrast and brightness until all intended lines are present.
- Remove isolated marks or unwanted regions with the cleanup option or lasso.
- Open vector view and inspect outer contours, counters and narrow gaps.
- Smooth only visible raster steps and simplify Bézier curves conservatively.
- Export the format that fits your next production step.
Keep the character
Edge smoothing affects the vector shape. A small value is usually enough for lively handwriting.
Choose the right export.
PDF is useful for controlled print output, SVG for modern design and production software, EPS for traditional workflows, DXF for contour-based CAD and laser processes, and PNG for the cleaned raster result.

Can light pencil be detected?
Yes, if it still separates from the paper. Raise black level and contrast carefully.
Does the arrangement stay intact?
Yes. Motifs are not moved or cropped automatically.
