| I have tried to use ChatGPT and Google's Gemini to make SVG from simple logos bitmaps but its still a daunting task for them, so I guess tools like this one will still be needed for a while. |

| ▲ | a13o 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | If you search for ‘vectorization AI’ there are a handful of specialized tools and apis that can do it. It worked well for a handful of logos I wanted to convert. Nano banana generated the raster logos, and these other tools vectorized them | |

| ▲ | dgb23 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It seems like the problem of pushing pixels around in an exact way and iterating on visual design is a problem that needs very specialized tools, regardless whether there is LLM support. |

| I keep trying to generate SVG using LLMS when I feel mermaidjs does not work. There has to be a better option here? I just want slightly more control than mermaidjs sometimes, but it seems its the de-facto default we are stuck with. |

| I use this often when I need to work with individual path commands, it’s a great tool! |

| ▲ | usrusr 34 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Same! My use case is 2d splines for use in openSCAD, stuff that eventually arrives at my doorstep from a 3d printing service. I just love the ability to overlay reference bitmaps, super valuable for the parts I've been making. Before stumbling upon this tool, I've spent a lot of time tweaking SVP paths in "mostly manual" files in other projects, it's a recurring theme for me. I was delegating the more interesting paths to Inkscape or similar, but keeping the basic structure handwritten. This tool would have made my life so much easier! |

| Nice!
I like how it highlights the commands when you hover over them, allowing you to see what they actually do. |

| Very cool! I wish more editors would exist as web services, easily solving the cross-platformity that way. |

| ▲ | eXpl0it3r 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'm in the opposite camp. Give me some local tool that does disappear when the maintainer moves to the next thing. Well and I can eat the cake as well, make it some native app that has proper performance. | | |

| Does it support converting between line segments and bezier curves smoothly? |

| cool stuff, the favicon could even replicate the current svg state |
| |
| ▲ | gurjeet 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | I tried it in Firefox and Chrome, but changing the SVG shape did not change the favicon displayed on the tab. I don't think I understand what you meant. PS: This submission of mine is at least a day old, but it now shows as posted about 3 hours ago; I presume this is because it is from the second-chance pool. | | |
| ▲ | AmbroseBierce 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think they meant it as a feature suggestion (given that it should be easy to implement since SVG files can be used as favicons). | | |
