If you turn logos or artwork into SVG, Inkvec's published benchmark shows cleaner colour and far fewer path points than VTracer, and you can try it in a browser before installing anything.
Inkvec converts PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP and TIFF images into SVG. It is written in Rust with a WebAssembly build, so it works as a command-line tool (inkvec logo.png -o logo.svg) and in the browser, with a running demo on Hugging Face. Two optional open-weight models handle super-resolution and denoising, which the maker says help most on lossy JPEGs. On its 21-case benchmark it reports a mean CIEDE2000 colour error of 0.132 against VTracer's 1.303, with VTracer emitting 4.4 times as many coordinates. Apache-2.0, v0.1.3 released 18 September.
