How we choose
A bench, not a billboard
Hands-on, not spec sheets
We work through the actual raster-to-vector flow in each tool rather than repeating a feature list.
Output quality first
Clean paths, sane node counts, and faithful color matter more than how loud the marketing is.
Kept current
Tools change engines and pricing. Write-ups are revisited so recommendations stay honest.
