Convertio doesn’t have any controls, that I know of, so either works, or works not, depending on the image. Super Vectorizer 2 only works for Mac. Something I just found and worked really well on my first couple of test images is a web app called cutecutter.com which is intended to help people make SVG files from JPEGs for Cricket Cutters (2D razor cutters for vinyl and paper.) I don’t have a lot of experience with it, but it just feels right having 4 control sliders that do exactly what I want and a way to eliminate the background of the photo so you can work on just the person or car or whatever that you want from your photo. Also they have some very basic but useful vector friendly paint and fill operations to clean things up as needed. One thing I don’t understand is who created this thing and what their intent is. Eventually they presumably want to make a buck somehow, but maybe are working to increase their numbers before monetizing. I’d be happy to throw them a few dollars. If other people are as happy with it as I am, Carbide Create might want to reach out to them and consider ways of working together. It seems to be in beta and has been for a while. This svg, which I hope I can attach, took all of 5 minutes to make from a random jpeg. [Edit] OK. After playing with this app a bit more I see that it is trying to create a very woodcut feel to the resultant SVG rather than just doing a straight grab of the image in the JPEG. If you happen to like or need this effect, it is very good. If you were more trying to grab technically what was there, like a font or outline, then it isn’t going to work so well. Still pretty good for natural photos because the pure technical grab like from inkscape rarely looks good.
