Put a badge on a photo

A crisp vector star that stays sharp at any size.

  1. Draw the badge.
  2. Place it on the photo.
  3. Drag its corners to size it. The edges stay sharp.

Trace a photo into paths

A picture turned into clean, editable curves.

  1. Open the photo.
  2. Trace it and set where the line sits.
  3. Smooth the lines, then turn them into SVG paths.
