Handles multi-colour flat artwork and cartoons. Supports cutout layers for vinyl cutting and screen printing.
Converts photographs and gradient-rich images to smooth SVG splines with rich colour depth.
Extracts clean ink paths from sketches and line drawings. Ideal for converting pencil drawings or ink scans to SVG.

Use Logo mode for logos with flat colours. It traces shapes and samples the true colour from your original PNG per shape. For illustrated logos with many colours, try Illustration mode.
Yes. Open the Edit tab, tap "Remove BG", and Vector Squid will auto-remove the background. You can then refine with an erase/recover brush before vectorizing.
Download the SVG from Vector Squid and import it directly into Cricut Design Space. For cut files, enable Cutout mode first to get non-overlapping, layer-isolated shapes.
