Trace a logo into editable outlines

Use a high-contrast logo to practise converting an image into vectors. Work on a copy of the project so you can compare your changes with the source.

Download Diamond logo. Import the image and check that the trace keeps both the outside diamond and the white opening.

Import and trace the logo

Import a PNG or JPEG with Import artwork. Select the image on a visible, unlocked layer.
Right-click the image and choose Quick trace to create outlines with automatic settings. To adjust the result before applying it, use Trace image….
In the tracing panel, check the preview around small holes and fine details. Adjust the threshold if parts of the logo are missing, or the minimum region area if small flecks appear. Preview again after each adjustment, then choose Apply editable vectors.

The original bitmap stays in the project. Compare it with the new outlines, then place the bitmap on a reference layer or remove it from the working copy so only the vectors contribute to output.
Run Artwork Check if you need to inspect gaps or overlaps. Use Fill to engrave closed regions, or Line to follow outlines.
Generate a new preview. Check the physical size, holes and small details before saving the project.
