Detail

Corners stay sharp and curved edges become smooth curves. A silhouette is one cuttable shape with its holes. Color layers keep the picture’s main colors as separate shapes for layering; check and clean up each layer before you cut. A PDF’s first page is drawn as a picture and traced, so its lines come back as traced outlines rather than the PDF’s own curves. Nothing is uploaded.

What you get

The silhouette mode keeps corners sharp and fits smooth curves to the edges between them; threshold and detail change what is traced. Color mode groups the picture into the number of colors you choose and traces each as its own layer, leaving out the background unless you keep it. Check each color layer before you cut. Neither mode restores detail missing from the original picture.
