Silhouette is a plugin for Adobe Illustrator™ 8, 9, 10 and CS that converts black and white or colour bitmap images into vector images.

Thanks to its unique correction tools, in just a few moves you can obtain a result just like the one produced by the original designer.
Its unique correction tools bring logos into line so that they're perfectly horizontal, sharpen rounded or truncated corners, align points on an axis, delete unnecessary points, convert "flat" curves into straight lines, smooth off tangents and simplify curves while retaining their appearance.

Silhouette has the following advantages:
 • Saves time and improves quality
 • A simple, efficient, easy-to-handle solution
 • An investment that pays for itself very quickly

Why convert a bitmap into a vector design?
 • The files are less bulky (saving space on disk and transmission time)
 • The images are more flexible to handle (retouching, etc.)
 • The images are easier to distort (rotation, enlargement, distortion, etc.)
 • Better quality logos (no more steps or blur in diagonals)
 • A vectorized image is not dependent on the resolution of the output device; you can enlarge it without any loss of quality

Who needs Silhouette?
 • Graphic designers working in DTP, CAD, CAM and 3D
 • Website designers
 • Printers, photoengravers, silk-screen printers, film service bureaux
 • Exhibition stand manufacturers
 • Signmakers
 • The world of design


Silhouette is developed and edited by the company Free Soft s.a., which has specialized since 1992 in the development and edition of graphics applications for Macintosh and Windows.
