Vextractor is a tool for transforming raster images into vector formats by building centrelines and outlines. This vectorizer tool could be used for vectorizing of charts, maps, schemes and other similar images for input to CAD & GIS systems. The application has an option to setup a reference for images, in other words to assign a real coordinates to certain raster points. That means you can get vector data not only in the raster coordinates, but real geographical coordinates or in the chart coordinates. With Vextractor, you can save converted raster images to the following vector formats: DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS, AI or SVG.

Vextractor has all necessary tools for viewing images including; scaling, scrolling, and color selection. Some of the key features of the program include the following; TWAIN support for importing images from any scanner, automatic recognition of orthogonal lines, arcs, and circles saving the original drawing’s scale, convert halftone and color images to black-and-white images for further recognition, rotate and change the orientation of raster images, etc.

This shareware program has a built-in vector editor, which can be used for the editing of vectorization results; and also comes with a feature that lets you create curves using Bezier splines, which allow obtaining images smoother than the original raster.
