I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong? I made this rabbit design on Amaziograph, then moved it to procreate where I saved it as a png and a jpg. But when I converted it in express, it came out as only a set of lines? Here's what I wanted and then how it turned out. I'm making a stencil to use for a gift for my twin, can anyone help me?

    I have a similar issue! This is my first attempt. I was also going to make one, same thing, but bright red; that one came out as just a solid red rectangle. It's a simple design. All I'm doing is adding the png (with a hidden background) and hitting "convert," so I don't think it's something you can do wrong. I think it's an issue with the converter.

    In my experience vectorizing complex pixel-based rasters rarely produces perfect results. 

     

    For best possible results, manually re-trace the raster in a vector graphics app like Illustrator. 

    Convert lines to paths.

    Simplify the number of paths before exporting to SVG.

     

    See Method #2 below for details.

    Hope that helps.

    Kind of? I'm just logging into adobe express and using the "convert to svg" option they have, and I want to know what I'm doing wrong

    @Eden26277840h75f, we understand the question.

     

    the discussion so far has been to determine where your question should be posted.  to that end, it's been moved from using the community (which is the proper location for questions about how to use the forums (eg, embed code, screenshots etc) to adobe express (which appears to be the appropriate forum for your question).


    Ooh, okay, thank you!
