Review summary

Reviews praise SvgTrace Classic for its user-friendly interface and usefulness to crafters for converting images to SVG, with benefits for Cricut users and a one-time purchase. However, many users report stability issues (crashes and freezes), unreliable vector quality and export saves, and value-for-money concerns. Some note the app works best with solid-color images and differs from the website experience. Overall, reliability and consistency are the main pain points, while usability and Cricut integration are common strengths.
Pros
  • User-friendly / easy-to-use interface.
  • Effective SVG/vector conversion for crafters.
  • One-time purchase with no ongoing subscription.
  • Works with Cricut Design Space and supports layered SVGs.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and freezes, preventing editing or saving.
  • Vector quality issues and export/save failures (low-res imports, non-crisp output, SVG not saving).
  • Perceived poor value for money; many feel it’s not worth the price.
  • Poor handling of textured/complex images; works best with solid colors.
  • App performance often differs from the website; features and layering are inconsistent.

2026-05-09 fr***** Works perfectly. There’s a review that said ‘not for fine detail’ but it looks like it’s fixed, the developer cares about the product, listens to the bad reviews and works on addressing them. Create a logo on Procreate move it to Affinity Designer on your iPad AND save it locally (not on the cloud like other similar apps want) - Kudos

2025-07-29 Th***** Can’t edit layers because it crashes after a minute and I have to start over. Waste of money.

2025-04-12 He***** I was expecting much more out of this app. I am a graphic designer who prefers to draw my work in procreate then vectorize it. I’ve been using Inkscape for the vectorization process which works perfectly. I found this app and decided to try it in hopes of not having to transfer my work back and forth between my iPad and computer to vectorize it. The PNG files I start with are of very high quality to ensure the most detail once vectorized, however this app imports them at an extremely low quality which results in a poor vectorized version. This was a complete waste of money for me. The website version for some reason does better with smaller details. I don’t get it. Looks like I’ll be going back to Inkscape. Wish I could get my money back.

2025-01-10 Lo***** This app seems to only be good for solid colors. Anything with texture in it or watercolor type images will result in a huge mess. The outlines are not clean and looks scribbled and weird. Wish I could have tried it first before purchasing. I would not trust all of the great reviews.

2024-12-28 bo***** I bought this hoping I could log in to my account on my android tablet through the browser in order to select the colors better with the bigger screen as it is more accessible to my needs, Paid almost $14 and all I got was disappointment.

2024-09-26 Ka***** If you are a crafter who works with SVG files of any sort, SVG Trace is an absolute GEMMMMM. I use this program all the time and wish I discovered it sooner. Extremely user friendly and effective when trying to convert into a SVG file.

2024-08-16 Da***** Quite accurate and better than the free online tools. Better yet, you only pay for it once! Swipe reference pictures online and quickly convert it into vector. Saves a lot of time when compared to tracing - Phooweeh!
