Midjourney VECTOR ART: How to convert picture into vector (Midjourney AI Art)

[@calvingrondahl1011]

I am a retired newspaper cartoonist and have seen many changes. The vector art is especially interesting. Thank you Wade😊

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you Calvin! Its moving insanely fast, interesting times. :)

[@nepotycznysuperbohater9140]

I use Vector Magic - in my opinion the best and simplest. Fast, easy to use, you can choose the number of colors, correct the drawing, etc.

[@WadeMcMaster]

I tried it out and it's good too. I didn't find it to be vastly greater than Vectorizer.ai, but similar and with a few more controls - a very nice alternative for sure!

[@Politicalmeme]

Can you revese? Vector to image? Like, you have just black vector and you want to convert it to nice colorized image

[@WadeMcMaster]

Not sure, thatd be cool tho! I think firefly has a vector recolor tool but i dont think it does that specifically.

[@MonarkTechnologies]

For best image tracing in Illustrator first you need to count the number of color our image have. And select the same number of color to see the amazing results.

[@MonarkTechnologies]

This will work only if our image have no gradient colors

[@WadeMcMaster]

Awesome tip mate thank you! Gradients don't really convert too well automatically do they. That's awesome info :)

[@GoodFeelAnimation]

Bro your tutorial is so amazing👌👌👌👌

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you mate!

Thank you! I hope i have some useful videos there for you :)

[@deepdiver849]

Thanks for this ! Which version illustrator do you have?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thank you! This would be probably last years version of illustrator as I'm a bit lazy to update lol.

[@johnphazey3051]

Hello wade. I vectorised some AI designs and put them on canva to add some text etc. when I download them from canva, the dpi is very low. Would I then have to up the dpi or leave as is because I’ve vectorised it.

[@WadeMcMaster]

Unfortunately canva converts vectors to bitmaps when exporting a PDF. The best result I would say is to use a bigger document in canva (it will still be a bitmap) or possibly try another app or program to see if it keeps it as a vector

[@dobri1833]

I'm amazed about the quality of the pictures. Thank u for the tip

[@WadeMcMaster]

Happy to help! Thank you :)

very inspiring video that i tried and uploaded in my channel

Glad I could inspire you mate!

[@Cutepawpaws99]

why I can't remove the background like u did, can u help me :(

[@WadeMcMaster]

Is this in illustrator? You may need to ungroup it or the background could be various objects and yoummight need to delete a few.

[@lolnoobthemapper]

is there a good alternative? now you need to pay for convert files into svg :(

[@WadeMcMaster]

Yeah they recently went paid. I'll see what I can find but nothibf yet.

[@HJartistry]

@@lolnoobthemapper did you find any good free alternatives?

[@theworldofmoney6573]

How did you removed the black background of the vector

[@WadeMcMaster]

In illustrator i just u grouped the graphic then clicked the background object and hit delete.

hi , thanks for the video , i have a problem , can you tell me the settings to exxport in vectorizer pls

[@laif9857]

even in ilustrator i dont have the image trace in the place that you hhave

[@WadeMcMaster]

Vectorizer.ai doesnt have any real settings you can change, but asking midjourney for flat colors, vector art, simple etc helps get an image that produces better results. What version of illustrator are you using?

[@Youtubervideos125]

I found out it's leaving a gray stroke when I use vectorize ai

[@WadeMcMaster]

Oh, that may be a tiny space between each object. Illustrator does that too sometimes. Ill look into a solution...

[@Youtubervideos125]

@@WadeMcMaster Okay, I understand but after I download the file I use inkscape to remove the background then I soon in I can see the stroke right around all of the design. When I placed it in adobe illustrator same thing. I am wondering if the settings in vectorize ai is the problem but I changed them up got the same result.

[@WadeMcMaster]

Yeah you can slect all the objects in illustrator and expand them slightly. Video time haha.

[@Youtubervideos125]

@@WadeMcMaster Well, I tried releasing the compound path and some of the lines have disappeared but I have some that have not changed. Still trying to figure out how to fix it and I will be good from there on.

Are there any free vectorizing alternatives? We have to pay for it now 😢

[@WadeMcMaster]

Yeah, there's the adobe image to svg converter but it's nowhere near as good

[@psclip3309]

all the tracing model resulting a cut out shape which is very strange

[@WadeMcMaster]

Do you mean, the thin lines between objects that show up?

[@timclayton8214]

Sorry if I am being picky but you are not using Midjourney to convert your image into a vector, which appears to be what your headline states. But them I am an old git lol

[@WadeMcMaster]

Good point, title updated!

[@trismatix]

Can you share the Midjourney prompt for the 3d glitch effect image? Or was it generated by some other way? Thanks for the tutorial!

[@WadeMcMaster]

It was a simple one! "Abstract glitch art" in v4

[@alrod62]

Muchas gracias! la herramienta es increíble

[@CerveauxOrbite]

What is your opinion on processing images for colouring pages? Is it better to apply VECTOR ART in this case?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Thats a tough question. Technically vector would be best, but i would upscale in topaz gigapixel and compare also. Whichever is beat use that.

[@eurossocial]

Wow! I got really impressed from your video. Actually it is a rare thing to find this kind of video in KZbin, about vectorizing Ai graphics artworks. Actually I watched only 2 videos referring to two websites that they generate "very simple vectors" from text prompts. They are at their beginning of this and there is a great potential in the future... Anyway, I would suggest you to always Upscale your image to a higher and sharper resolution, and after convert it to vector.... Thank you for sharing this useful information, combining it with the latest Ai technology. Do you have any video demonstration on how and where which sites can we upload and sell our ai vector designs?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Hey mate, thank you! I never considered upscaling first, that's a great idea to get better conversion! I haven't yet, but I am chipping away in the background on covering some of that, so in teh future I have one coming :)

[@eurossocial]

@@WadeMcMaster Thats nice to hear! I am glad my suggestion about "upscaling" had helped you! 😉👍

[@jeffreyorganes6897]

I might be wrong, so you should probably read it yourself. But I was reading the vectorize user agreement. And according to their website, it says once you use her website and upload an image. Vectorize has the right to sell or use any material processed through their website For any purposes they want without your consent. I would love to use their service I would even pay it is stated in their user agreement that they would not steal my artwork. But this is not the case as far as I can tell.

[@WadeMcMaster]

I did read this on their home page: Do you make any claims on the input images or vectorized results? Our terms of service just grant us the rights we need to deliver the service to you, and to improve our products. We don't claim any rights to the vectorized results, and we won't share your images with third parties unless you explicitly authorize us to do so.

[@WadeMcMaster]

However, i do greatly appreciate you highlighting any potential issues using the tool though, i sure dont want to be recommending a tool which has some shady practices. Thanks for letting us know mate :)

[@rockymtnmovies]

Cool. A newbie to this...why would I want to create a vector? For Stickers. t-shirts?

[@PresidentYT]

I know when considering screen printing of shirts vector images are useful because you are able to scale the image to any size without losing quality, also it makes color separations simple and easy.

[@WadeMcMaster]

This is pretty much what i came to say :) wverything is sharp and prints well when you have a good vector image

[@marciaweilenman3086]

Just found your channel as I was trying to get an image to make a url prompt for MJ. Yours was the ONLY video that did the steps to explain it correctly and it worked!! Just watched this one as I use vectorizer for MJ images- but the vector has these tiny white outline around each vector piece- (and no stroke). Have you or anyone seen this and suggest a remedy? I did not see these spider white lines around your vectors...

[@WadeMcMaster]

I have had that issue before where obje ts meet up but thered a thin gap, if you have illustrator, you can offset the paths, tbis video may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmGxdKiBZrhmaqc

[@ossiline5530]

I have the same thin white outlines and looking for a solution. I´m working with affinity designer and my solution is to choose all the same fill colors and fill out the strokes with the same fill color. Then I increase the contour lines to 2 px. Then I do this with the next color. That´s very time-consuming.

[@slimreaper3797]

Do you save as png?

[@WadeMcMaster]

You could but it then wouldn't be vector, but would be easier to import into standard programs. For print, a PDF would probably be best, for web and SVG and for vector editing an AI / EPS for illustrator

[@JmichaelsYT]

Awesome video, by chance could you tell me what screen recording software you are using and video editing program? Tysm!

[@WadeMcMaster]

Don't see why not! Give it a try :)

[@gownat]

Can i vectorize the original image of the person?

[@WadeMcMaster]

You can upload photos of people but the results won' be as good, photos convert poorly. I would recommend using the photo in Midjourney or something to create an AI version there first that is cartoony and 2d before trying this.

[@gownat]

Thank you Wade!🙏

[@mok7281]

Is this used to upscale images from Midjourney and other sources or does it have different purposes aswell?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Any image you upload can be converted, Midjourney or not - however, the image shoudl be flat colors and vector-like to get good results. Hope that helps!

[@gabriellamontez-np7nq]

This is so freaking amazing Wade! I wonder, can I use BlueWillow in this process instead of Midjourney?

[@WadeMcMaster]

If you get results you like that convert well, absolutely. I dont see why you wouldnt be able to use it for this.

[@youraifriend]

That was awesome! How did you zoom the two images togother?

[@WadeMcMaster]

In vectorizer.ai there's the hourglass at the top - in Illustrator I didn't - I edited the video so that I could showcase them side by side after I filmed it.

[@critical_always]

@@WadeMcMaster Thanks. I love hand coding svg and squeeze every byte out of them. I think that is what tracers need to be judged on as well. It's no good to have a good image but ending up with a 3Mb file for what's essentially clip art. 100kb would be my aim for the rocket dog.

[@WadeMcMaster]

​@@critical_always I hear what you're saying for sure. In many instances it is useful - but if you're just looking for a vector thats good enough to print (for yourself on a shirt, flyer or sign etc, not for sale) then the size isn't as big of a factor. On the web though, 100%, those files would be far too big.
