Vector Magic 120

| Metric | Rating | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Accuracy (Geometric) | 95% | Straight lines and perfect circles are reconstructed exceptionally well. | | Color Fidelity | High | Supports up to 256 colors for photo-like vectors, but best for <32 colors. | | Speed | Fast | Processes a 10MP image in ~4-6 seconds on a standard PC (circa 2022-2024 hardware). | | File Size Output | Optimized | Produces smaller vector files than Adobe Illustrator’s default trace due to node reduction. |

Version 120 is fully 64‑bit and can address more than 4GB of RAM. This means massive images (over 10,000 pixels on a side) no longer crash or stall. On a modern machine, a 12‑megapixel photo can be reduced to a vector illustration in under 10 seconds. vector magic 120

Currently, Vector Magic 120 represents the apex of consumer-grade vectorization. Prototypes for "Vector Magic 240" exist in laboratory settings, allowing for 240-color traces of photorealistic faces. However, that requires quantum computing power to process bezier math. | | File Size Output | Optimized |

For now, 120 is the magic number. It is high enough to capture every detail of a complex logo or satellite map, yet low enough to remain editable in Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or Affinity Designer.
