2. Configure Trace Settings
Choose B&W, Target Color or Color tracing and adjust the tracing settings.

3. Create Clean Curves
Use Preview if necessary, then create the final editable curves.

4. Adjust Geometry
Change Scale, Depth, Bevel, Curve Resolution and Filled/Outline mode.

Export SVG, keep editable curves or prepare a mesh.

6. Bake Mesh
When the curves are ready, use Bake Clean Mesh from Curves.

Recommended Images

SVG-Forge works best with logos, icons, silhouettes, graphic artwork and images with clearly defined shapes.

Highly detailed photographs, noisy images and complex gradients may generate more complex vector results.

Quick Window

Press Ctrl + Shift + V to open the SVG-Forge Quick Window.

Editing Curves

Use Edit Curve to access the generated source curve. Because SVG-Forge follows a curve-first workflow, the shape can be adjusted before the final mesh is baked.

Mesh Workflow

After the curves are approved, use Bake Clean Mesh from Curves. The resulting mesh is created with flat shading by default.

Uninstall

Open SVG-Forge and run its cleanup/uninstall option where applicable, then remove or disable SVG-Forge from Preferences.
