What is Vextractor?
Vextractor turns raster images into vector data for further editing in CAD, GIS or illustration software. It can convert scanned drawings and logos to formats such as DXF, SVG and EPS, while its GIS outputs include Shape and MapInfo MID/MIF. Use it when you need editable lines and curves rather than a bitmap placed inside a drawing.
The publisher’s drawing workflow starts with a raster image, applies cleanup filters, runs vectorization and saves the resulting vectors. A built-in vector editor lets you correct those results before passing them to another application. Median filtering, removal of isolated spots and recognition of circles, arcs and orthogonal lines are aimed at preparing and tracing technical drawings.
Automatic tracing is not exact reconstruction: the publisher warns that poor source quality can make a scan unsuitable for vectorization or further editing. Check the converted geometry against the original. This entry links to the Vextractor 7.20 x64 demo; the full version requires a paid license. The publisher lists Windows versions through Windows 10 and does not establish Windows 11 compatibility.

Good to know

- Publisher compatibility information stops at Windows 10; Windows 11 support is not confirmed.
