Converting Image in png format to vector format using Sketch (Mac)

Question

I am new to sketch and I am facing some issues in generating Vectors for some of the icons which I have in .png format.

Could any one please refer some tutorial or tell me some simple way to get through this.

Feel free to guide me if I am wrong somewhere.

Thanks

Answer 1

Sketch is very useful but it is also limited on its vector capabilities. The function you are looking for is called Live Tracing, you can find it on Illustrator and it is very acurate if your icon is in high contrast or transparent background. You could trace it manually but that can take a long time for complex shapes, and not as accurate.

Inkscape might be a good free option for this. Should be good enough if the pngs are not too detailed.

I also faced same issues but I think there is no such easy way to get out of this using Sketch.

but still, you can review this basic Youtube tutorial for the same.
