About

What Image → Sketch does

Image → Sketch turns a picture — a photo, a scanned drawing, an SVG, a logo — into native, editable sketch geometry inside an Onshape Part Studio. Instead of tracing shapes by hand, you upload an image here and get real sketch entities you can constrain, extrude, and build on.

How it works

1

Point it at a Part Studio

Paste your Onshape Part Studio URL, or let it auto-detect the one you're already working in.
2

Upload an image or SVG

Drop in a PNG, JPEG, WEBP, or an SVG file directly.
3

Trace and tune

Pick an engine and output mode, then adjust accuracy, color detail, noise filtering and smoothness - the preview retraces live as you drag.
4

Review the geometry

Check closed shapes, open paths and warnings, remove stray shapes or whole color layers you don't want.
5

Import to Onshape

Send the result straight into your Part Studio as an editable "SVG Import" feature - plane, size and position can be adjusted afterward.

Two tracing engines

Classic

A fast, deterministic vectorizer that runs server-side. Good default for clean line art, logos and scans.

AI

Runs entirely in your browser for photos and complex images, with optional background removal before tracing.
