It's a sign-up page for a commercial service, not a show HN.
Are these generated by doing normal text to (pixel) image generation, then doing a raster to svg conversion? Or are LLM models actually capable of generating SVG directly?
I can imagine that working for simple things: make a red circle with a blue line under it, because there are many simple examples on the web.
But generating complex SVGs directly from text seems like it wouldn't work at all. The examples on their home page are well into the "too complex to generate by piecing together bits of svg examples seen during training."
The best pixel to vector is still vectormagic. They are on it since at least 2009 and have a native desktop app. I am not affiliated but just a bit flabbergasted that they are still so far ahead.
So, this is just traditional image vectorization on top of existing AI-based bitmap image generation. It would be more interesting if this was actually AI-based vector image generation.
They also don’t say if they are self-hosting the image generation or rely on an external AI service, which may have an impact on data protection.
Not free, of course, but when I loaded Adobe Illustrator for the first time in a while the other day I noticed it had gained a feature where it can generatively add elements to vector illustrations. It worked very well in my casual playing around and maintained the style of the existing image too.
Not actually AI generated SVGs, but it generates an AI raster image and then "converts" it.
So, if anyone has a weekend to spare, setting up a competitor by running stable diffusion with a LORA for vectorized output with vtracer on the image output... should about do it. Seems at least one of these services pop up every day, and it's usually the same thing wrapped in different packaging.
Look cool but would be good to try without signing up
Spam. Check their post history
It's interesting to see the prompts on specific examples, like https://vectorart.ai/3e5ead1b-60be-40f8-ae6f-25e14ca4e9a0 I guess "vectorized" is doing some heavy lifting there for converting to SVG. It's always funny to me to see random text generated, especially when it's either close to right (like this example) or just mangled shapes that were derived from the Roman or Cyrillic alphabet, but which still have some flavor of the original font, just with zero meaning.
Strange that the free tier has no documented limits. I always like it when I can see what I am working with, especially when refining an image will eat into that number.
I would buy credits if they let you, instead of a subscription. Just how many vector images do people need to create?
Nice work! I'm working on a non svg based AI art generator.
Would be interested in some research to see if we can re use something I've done in the pixel domain
I found a disfigured hand https://vectorart.ai/3a9041f4-8303-4696-ba11-15d016e9327f
This is an account just to promote the website. I don't think it fits HN.
Thanks everyone for your feedback and support. I've been adding GPUs as fast as I can to meet demand and some of the earlier performance issues should be much improved.
When I click to see an imagem from the gallery, it looks like it loaded but then a blank screen appears instead, after what looks like a refresh. Tried on Chrome and Firefox.
Seems to not be working. I tried the same prompt twice. My trial credits were used but there was no image generated, nor do they appear in My Images.
Seems to be hugged to death. Any sign-ups just give me "Email rate limit exceeded".
The vector art header image is pretty bad and not instilling a lot of confidence.
this could be great, I’ve tried getting chatgpt4 to output svg, it will but struggles on complexity
it can perceive what is being requested but you need to break down each part in a g statement just like with coding
Hummm, down since yesterday ...
It seems like we still can't use Bard in Canada yet. Pretty annoying. I haven't been able to find an explanation of why it is not available

-> even to images I upload? This is a no go. As a paid subscriber, I would expect to a) not automatically give a license for everything I UPLOAD B) not automatically give a license for content I created myself
