Our verdict on Raster to Vector
Raster to Vector is a Windows desktop application for turning scanned drawings, maps, and other raster images into editable vector files. It is aimed at CAD users and other professionals who need to convert BMP, JPG, TIF, GIF, or PNG inputs into formats such as DXF, HPGL, WMF, EMF, and TXT. Its best fit is raster-to-vector conversion rather than general-purpose 2D CAD drafting.
Pricing is structured as a one-time per-license purchase. The 1 License plan costs $59, while the 2 Licenses plan costs $49. Volume pricing reduces the per-license cost further: 3 - 5 Licenses cost $45, 6 - 10 Licenses cost $40, and 11 - 15 Licenses cost $37. The published product details also describe a free trial. There is no free plan, and the license structure suits individuals or teams that prefer perpetual access over a recurring subscription.
The standout capability is the range of tracing and cleanup controls in a focused conversion workflow. Users can choose center-line or outline tracing, apply monochrome, grayscale, or full-color vectorization, and adjust brightness, contrast, scale, and tolerance. Automatic correction of intersections and fragmented lines, speckle removal, text correction, drag-and-drop input, and batch processing extend the workflow beyond basic image conversion. Choose Raster to Vector when DXF or other vector export and raster cleanup are the priority. Choose a broader 2D CAD application instead when drafting and design tools are the central requirement.
