Description
The Prep Stage Your Pro Editor Deserves
Vecspine is a desktop vectorizer and print-production suite for graphic designers, brand agencies, print shops, screen printers, and sign makers. It converts raster logos into clean, layered vectors — and then gives you a massive toolkit to generate packaging dielines, print-ready calendars, halftone films, and color separations before the artwork ever reaches Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Affinity, Figma or Inkscape.
Vecspine is the prep stage, not a replacement: it handles the tedious 95% — tracing, cleanup, dieline generation, screen prep, and palette extraction — so your time in the pro editor is spent on design, not janitorial work. No cloud uploads. No monthly fees. Just clean vectors and production-ready files, fast.
What You Get
Tracing & Vector Editing
- Potrace-powered tracing engine — industry-standard Bézier curve fitting for mono, flat-color, line art, badge and icon logos.
- Node & Bézier Editing — full path editor with smart guides, anchor manipulation, and segment straightening/curving.
- Canvas / Artboard Tool — resize, move, and marquee-crop your artboard with precision handles.
- Project Files (.vsp) & Autosave — self-contained project containers with 60-second autosave and session restore.
Print & Packaging Production
- Packaging Generator — generate production-ready vector dielines for folding cartons, mailer boxes, sleeves, envelopes, and shopping bags. Custom flaps, die-cut/rope handles, bleed/safe margins, and Save/Load presets.
- Calendar Generator — create 1–12 month print-ready vector calendars with 7 layout styles, custom month ranges (even across years), ghost dates, and crop marks.
- Halftone RIP — true AM halftone screening with ISO 12647 rosette angles (C15°/M75°/Y0°/K45°), 4 dot shapes, and 300–1200 DPI output for film positives.
- Color Separations (Plates tab) — every flat color becomes an isolated plate with swatch, HEX, nearest ink name and coverage %.
- Ink Matcher & Formulation — match traced spot colors to Pantone references using ΔE and generate ink mixing recipes.
- Trapping Engine — auto choke & spread for screen printing to eliminate misregistration flash.
- DTF / DTG White Underbase — generate solid or halftone white-ink masks with adjustable choke.
Sign Making & Digital Fabrication
- CNC Nesting & Kerf Compensation — offset cut paths for laser/CNC kerf and shelf-nest parts onto standard sheet sizes.
- Cut-Ready Exports — DXF (R2010, per-color layers), HPGL/PLT for vinyl plotters, and G-code for CO₂ lasers and CNC routers.
Client Handoff & Agency Tools
- White Label Branding (Studio & Agency) — replace Vecspine branding with your studio’s logo, company name, and custom copyright on exported PDFs and proof sheets.
- Brand & Proof Sheets — one-click client deliverables with logo clearspace, palette swatches, and film positives.
- Social / Avatar Pack & Icon Kit — instant exports for every web and social canvas.

Vecspine runs 100% offline. Your client logos never leave your machine. Licensing uses Ed25519 signature verification against a local machine fingerprint — no accounts, no telemetry, no data collection.
How It Works
- Drop your logo or open the generator — drag & drop PNG, JPG, WEBP, BMP, TIFF, or an existing SVG. Or open the Packaging / Calendar Generator to start from scratch.
- Tune to taste — adjust detail, smoothing, corner protection, min-area and despeckle with live preview.
- Refine the trace — select shapes (V), edit nodes (N), resize the canvas (A), scale, recolor, group, subtract, add text until it’s 95% there.
- Generate & Export — hit Generate for dielines or calendars, or export layered SVG, print PDF, DXF, halftone TIFFs, color separations, G-code, and brand palettes.
System Requirements
- Windows 10/11, macOS 11+, or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+)
- 4 GB RAM recommended (8 GB for batch workloads)
- 500 MB disk space
