options: can i convert an image form pixels to vector (SVG) - is this possible?
#4
@saint_m

Gimp will import a svg file but Gimp is strictly bitmap and does not export an svg image.
There is a plugin using autotrace for Gimp 2.10 that works, but the updated Gimp 3 version is Windows only.
see: https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21642

If you are using linux, and have autotrace installed then just as easy to export an image from Gimp and run autotrace in a terminal.

Using linux there are drag - n - drop possibilities using Inkscape (at least there are here with kubuntu)

With both Gimp and Inkscape open - Drag a layer into inkscape - Trace the image - copy that and paste back into the Gimp path dock.
For an actual svg image, then export that from Inkscape.
