SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Converting raster images like logos, line art, and silhouettes into true vector SVG files normally requires manual tracing in design software. This Skill automates that process through the Pixazo Image Vectorizer API, producing real editable vector paths instead of bitmaps wrapped in SVG tags. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Raster-to-SVG Conversion: Trace PNG or other raster images into genuine vector SVG output using potrace-based tracing. - Threshold Control: Adjust the black-and-white threshold parameter to fine-tune how the source image is flattened before tracing. - Synchronous Results: Get the vectorized image URL back in a single API call with no polling required. - Use Case: A designer has a low-resolution PNG logo and needs a scalable SVG for print. Provide the image URL, and the Skill returns a vectorized SVG with clean editable paths. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to vectorize your logo image into an SVG using the Image Vectorizer API, providing the image URL and your Pixazo API key when prompted.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a PNG image to SVG vector format?▼

Send a POST request to the Pixazo image-vectorize endpoint with your image URL and an optional threshold value. The API traces the raster image with potrace and returns a JSON response containing the URL of the resulting SVG file with real editable paths.

What types of images work best for raster to vector conversion?▼

Logos, line art, and silhouettes produce the best results because the source is flattened onto white and thresholded to black-and-white before tracing. Photographs are not suitable since the process reduces images to two-tone output.

Does the Image Vectorizer API require polling for results?▼

No, vectorization is synchronous. The API returns the result immediately in the JSON response as an images array containing the output URL, with no async polling or job status checks needed.

What does the threshold parameter do in image vectorization?▼

The threshold parameter controls how the source image is converted to black-and-white before tracing. A value around 50 is the default midpoint; adjusting it changes which pixels become black paths versus white background in the final SVG.

Why did I get a 401 error from the Pixazo API?▼

A 401 error means your API key is missing or invalid. Generate a fresh key at the Pixazo API console, then pass it in the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header or save it to ~/.pixazo/api-key for reuse.
