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.
