Shapeform: raster in, editable SVG out.

Solo: product, design and engineering. 2026, local-first.

OPENSOURCE
Shapeform's studio: the raster sample beside its traced, editable SVG, with the inspector

A working recreation of the interface, in the page. Escape closes it.

The problem

A traced image is only useful if you can edit it. Shapeform turns PNGs, JPEGs and screenshots into vector artwork you can actually edit: real stroke paths, fitted gradients, coherent colour groups.

The decisions

  • The engine keeps planar regions watertight while it fits curves, strokes and gradients.
  • Gradients are fitted, not faked with stacked flat bands, and the output is real paths, not anonymous filled slivers.
  • Local only: no account, no upload, no telemetry.

Out in the world

Open source. The React studio makes the structure inspectable and exports SVG, React components, CSS backgrounds, PDF, PNG and icon packs.

Built with

Python, FastAPI, Rust, React, TypeScript, Vite, SVG.
