# Convert raster to vector

> Flatten a render into a clean graphic illustration, then vectorise it to SVG

Vectorising a photograph gives thousands of messy shapes. Flatten it into a clean illustration first, then vectorise that.

## How it works

1. **Flatten to a vector-ready illustration (Nano Banana Pro)** redraws the render with clean flat shapes and a restrained eight-colour palette.
2. **Vectorize to SVG (Recraft)** converts the illustration to an SVG.

## Tips

* List the palette in the prompt. Fewer colours make a cleaner SVG.
