Fortunately, Inkscape comes with an automatic tracing tool that is quick and easy to use. If you need more precise control over the paths you create, you can opt to use Inkscape’s built-in drawing tools to trace manually. Here's how to trace an image using Inkscape.
In this how-to we will show you how to trace a bitmap image in Inkscape to create a vector image. This will convert the pixels of the bitmap into line paths that a machine (like a lasercutter) can follow.
Trace Bitmap is a feature in Inkscape that allows you to auto-generate vector tracings of pixel-based images, and in this tutorial we’ll be going over how you can do just that.
In this video we show you how to easily trace around an object. this is quite a fundamental skill to learn in Inkscape, but with practice, it opens up great areas for design and creativity.
