Potrace for Sketch is based on Potrace, a bitmap tracing algorithm developed by Peter Selinger.
- Select one or more bitmap images and run the plugin.
- Potrace places a new vector graphic on top of each bitmap, and hides the orginal.
- Potrace only processes bitmaps. If you want to process a layer with an image fill, use
Layer > Flatten Selection to Bitmapfirst.
