- On its 640-pixel badge comparison, the page reports 0.54% wrong pixels for Inlay versus 0.85% for VTracer.
Field notes
The browser app accepts PNG, JPG, and WebP, then lets users adjust colors and shapes before exporting SVG, PDF, EPS, or PNG; it can also create one-SVG-per-color ZIPs for screen printing and vinyl. The npm package exposes trace, toSvg, and peakPalette, and is described as pure TypeScript for browsers, Web Workers, and Node. The comparison uses a 640 px JPEG badge and reports 175 nodes for Inlay against 271 for VTracer.
