    Hi, I see an option called " Pixel Art " in Trace Bitmap. But when I select a PNG inside Inkscape and try to use the " Pixel Art " option, there is no output. I am not sure what is wrong. Any tips will be great. Thanks.

    No "Preview" when you hit "Update" button?

    From my experience I'd be careful with that auto-trace function as it for example generates 2500 objects for a tiny 50x50px raster image.

    I get a preview now. But is far from any Pixel Art. Please see

     

    Thanks, I learned about Auto Trace's hanging behaviour when I tried it sometime back. I will be cautious. :)

    Inkscape needs to draw 54755 individual shapes filled with color - this will take a while. Sure your machine has enough RAM? I'd check with some Activity monitor.

    I see. I had no idea. My machine is no beast, not bad either. How long will it take in general. Half an hour ? Thanks.

    Hi,
    That option was to trace squarish images into vectors, I think?
    It was not for making pixelised pictures, but the other way around.
