Potrace () is cross-platform, open-source software which converts raster graphics images into vector graphics. It is written and maintained by Peter Selinger.
Potrace's input and output is black and white (colored images are greyscaled before processing). However, Inkscape is capable of producing color images by decomposing each channel into several black and white images and tracing them separately with Potrace. The commercial Total Vectorize program also uses Potrace as its core.
