There are various suggestions to mitigate this problem, like applying a small amount of blur or using a lower resolution version of the image, but in my experience this is far to tedious & hit or miss to be a viable solution for more than the occasional conversion.Īnother problem it shares with every other algorithmic tracer I have ever used is all the vectors produced have no stroke instead, most are stacked on one or more larger outlines filled with the stroke color(s).


The big problem is it creates many, many more nodes than manual tracing or a 'smarter' algorithm would produce - sometimes hundreds of times more - to get a reasonably accurate tracing. It can do that, although some trial & error with the settings often is required to get that.

The problem with potrace is not that it can't produce accurate, good looking results.
