Icora offers two distinct engines for converting raster images (JPG/PNG) into vectors (SVG).

Local Tracer (Potrace)

This runs entirely in your browser. It is fast, free, and best for high-contrast, black-and-white images like logos or silhouettes.

• **Pros**: Instant, Free, Privacy-focused (no upload)
• **Cons**: Struggles with color, gradients, and low contrast
• **Best For**: Logos, simple sketches, scanned ink drawings

AI Vectorizer (Vision Model)

This uses a vision model to "see" the image and reconstruct it geometrically. It understands shapes and layers rather than just tracing pixels.

• **Pros**: Handles full color, gradients, and complex scenes. Clean geometry.
• **Cons**: Costs credits, takes 10-20 seconds
• **Best For**: Photos, digital art, complex icons
