Monotone SVG Tools.

Balancing quality and size.

Trace sweeps engines and settings, then compares each candidate with the source image.

Private: Images stay local. Recommendations send numerical measurements; Monotrace asks before uploading a crop.

1. Raster → ranked SVG

Trace

Compare many tracing settings at once. Each candidate is optimized, checked against the source, and ranked for fidelity, geometry, and file size.

2. Nodes and curves

Edit

Make a small correction without moving into a full illustration app. Reshape curves, adjust anchors and handles, and inspect problem geometry.

3. SVG → smaller SVG

Optimize

Take the chosen SVG one step further. Normalize its coordinates, run SVGO, and compare the resulting raw, gzip, and Brotli sizes before downloading.

Supported artwork

Built for icons, logos, marks, signatures, stamps, and silhouettes: one visible colour on a transparent canvas. The tools prioritize high fidelity and compact path geometry; palettes, gradients, filters, animation, and page layout are out of scope.

Lab

Benchmarks and research controls.

Candidate search is part of Trace. The Lab adds ranking-weight experiments, engine benchmarks, diagnostic exports, and interface prototypes.

Tools behind these tools.

ImageTracer, Potrace and SVGO run on your device. Monotrace is our private tracing kernel. Its optional server preview requires upload confirmation and a bot check.
