Use Case
For stencil makers, screen printers, and sign cutters who need a high-contrast black and white image traced into a clean, single-color SVG for cutting or printing.

Black and white artwork — stencils, silhouettes, ink drawings — vectorizes beautifully because there are only two tones to separate, and this tool nails that case while running entirely in your browser with no upload. We default numColors to 2 so the tracer makes a single clean decision at every pixel: black or white. The threshold setting controls exactly where that split happens — raise it to keep more of the darker mid-tones as black, lower it to preserve only the strongest blacks — so you can dial the boldness of the result precisely. A higher pathomit removes the salt-and-pepper specks that scanned or noisy monochrome images carry, and tight ltres and qtres keep the surviving edges smooth and sharp. The output is a minimal, ultra-compact single-color SVG ideal for screen printing, stencil cutting, or vinyl. For a grungy scanned drawing, nudge pathomit up further; for a pristine high-contrast graphic, the defaults give you a near-perfect trace on the first pass.
