Vectorizer.ai
FreeDesign Software
Instantly converts raster images (PNG, JPG) into clean, scalable SVG vectors. Essential for turning AI art into print-ready files.
How to use for Merch
Upload your AI-generated PNG to Vectorizer.ai and download the SVG or EPS. Import the vector into Illustrator or Affinity Designer to clean up stray paths, adjust colors, and add text. This step is critical for Merch designs — vectors scale to any t-shirt size without pixelation, and you can easily recolor for different product variants.
