About potrace

Potrace transforms bitmap images into vector graphics. A bitmap stores an image as pixels, while vector graphics describe shapes and paths that can be resized without using a fixed pixel grid. Tracing can turn a pixel-based image into outlines or shapes suitable for illustration, printing, or further editing. The supplied information identifies this conversion but does not specify input and output formats, color handling, tracing controls, or image-quality limits. It also does not describe batch processing. Potrace’s documented role is converting bitmaps into vector graphics; exact results depend on the source image and settings, details not included in the available product description.
