Batch auto-trace PNG

Post by richmond62 » Wed Sep 28, 2022 9:27 am

Well, it is in the OT section.

I am looking for a way to auto-trace about 5,000 PNG images and export them in EPS format.

MacOS 13.

In an ideal world this would use InkScape.

User Vectornator - superb free vector image editing app. I've already recommended this in the forums.

Have a look at their auto-trace function: https://www.vectornator.io/auto-trace

Yes, Vectornator can auto-trace a PNG image.

But so can Inkscape, so nothing new there.

BUT, as I am looking for Batch auto-tracing and export in EPS format (which I stated earlier)
Vectornator is useless (the only vector format it exports to is SVG).

Are you sure you can’t create an Automator workflow for this?
You probably can use this for actions. Only not sure what Vectornator‘s AppleScript implementation is like… and you can probably use a different workflow to batch convert to EPS…
