[Edit: I'm okay on this for now, thanks!]

I have a handful of images in this style, but I only scans of physical media; the original files are lost or inaccessible. I’d like to have SVGs of these, but all the converters I’ve tried produce very poor results. Given the geometric style, it seems like it should be easy-ish to trace in Inkscape or whatnot.

Are there people I can pay to do this conversion? How do I find them, and what should I expect it to cost? Better yet: are *you* this person?

(When I say the converters give poor results, it’s entirely possible I just don’t know how to use the more complicated ones, like all the options in Inkscape, properly. No shade intended at the makers of those things; it’s a hard job to do in the general case.)

@a Nope. Autotrace is just as bad as you experience it.

@vektorgarten @a theoretically AI also should be able to do that. But I fear the result might be not this at all.

@kielkontrovers @a AI is built into all the autotracing algorithms of the major apps and web services (except Inkscape). It did improve them, but still they lack a ton of actual intelligence.
