Inkscape has one, VCarve has one, Adobe Illustrator has one… ---

You can just upload a image like easel then? (simple?) ---

[convertio.co](http://convertio.co) takes a file and you can then convert into SVG which you can import into Easel. ---

I can only imagine how horrible a free converter must be. Ok it may work on text and very contrasting linework. But you have no control over anything if the image is not 100% ideal. I suggest to put the time into learning how to do it yourself in illustrator or Inkscape. You’ll thank me later ---

my problem with that is I’m frequently taken to a .jpg or .png file rather than the .svg – or – it refers me to Etsy/Pinterest or someplace a person wants to sell you the .svg. ---

I was looking for some Iron Maiden Eddie .svg’s. I think I’ve Inkscaped a few of them to decent degree and now it’s just some playing with the tool paths to make it look more recognizable. I frequently run into this problem, tho. Logo’s are easy to find for the most part with some of the vector sites out there. ---

Jpeg to SVG using convertico…I’ve not tweaked anything…just imported the SVG…not to shabby IMO [http://easel.inventables.com/projects/9iduPwGtGcehcxdhJ26pxQ](http://easel.inventables.com/projects/9iduPwGtGcehcxdhJ26pxQ) ---

This is the one I’d really like to get going… When I converted it in Inkscape, it looked good (in Inkscape) ![eddie ___iron_maiden__ 2__by_changoss-d695g0z](https://yyz1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/images/transparent.png), but doing a vcarve toolpath didn’t look so good. ---

Here’s another one with better lines, but lots of black. It’s pretty low-res, too. Any suggestions on strategies to make it more carveable? ![imageMain_30_263](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/3/f/3f71392f26d1118c894a30b8debc8884e8b227d3.jpg) ---

Yeah. Hard work and time always seems to be the answer. lol That’s OK. I’ll get to it eventually.
