How much does it cost to vectorize an image, and what can you do for free?

Updated on

With Homotope, tracing an image and downloading the SVG or PNG costs nothing, with no account and no limit, except transparent background and recolouring (Pro); only those two features, production exports beyond the 2 free a month with an account, server processing and the API are paid for, at the prices on the Pricing page.

Free, counted, paid

Production exports (DXF, EPS, PDF, separations): 2 free per month with an account, unlimited with Pro; without Pro, 1 credit each beyond those 2. Prices are on the Pricing page.

The trial, server processing and the API

When you create an account, production exports are unlimited for 7 days, once per Google identity, with no charge; it is not a Pro trial. Server processing, offered for very large images, gives 2 free tries a month with an account, then uses the Pro quota or credits. The API and MCP server are always paid: see vectorizing by API or AI agent.

Nothing leaves your computer: see vectorize without uploading.

Prices, and students

Prices for Pro (monthly or annual), credits and team seats are on the Pricing page and nowhere else. There is no student discount: the students page shows what the free part covers for a project. To compare with other tools, see free alternatives and Homotope and Vectorizer.AI.

What happens if I go back to the free plan?

Nothing is deleted: above the free storage quota, the gallery becomes read-only.
