For more complex images (with more colors):
Group and Merge as much things as you can to reduce number of layers. Then, for each layer repeat Clammmy's scenario (select image from layers section with Ctrl > Make work path (Marquee Tool) > Direct selection tool > create vector mask). After these operations, you should have few layers linked corresponding work path/vector. Now just save as .ESP and that should be it. Colored vectorized image.
Thank you Clammmy Creations for this tutorial, you saved me many hours!

4y later and this is exactly what I was looking for

[@BrianKismetDesign]

Thank you. Short and sweet, right to the point - the fact that this was a 2 minute tutorial is what makes this video awesome.

[@kelseyn5508]

Good sir:
I have been searching for a simple explanation of this for quite some time and everything was pointing to a long way that you have to do in illustrator. This video inspired me to actually sign into youtube just to leave this comment and like your video. I cannot thank you enough for such a helpful, straight to the point video. Absolutely wonderful. 10/10

[@ritblock]

THANK YOU!!! At last I found a short effective way to do this, saved my day! And you explain and talk about exactly what your headline told us!

[@RonMarshallrone]

A serious thank you. I've been using ps for 20 years and never thought of doing it this way. This will make image to vector for the CNC much easier.

[@MindIslandDesign]

Happy to help!

[@warfarewar8206]

best video I have seen for making raster into vector THANK YOU!!!

[@matthias4748]

Your video is very helpful for people who are struggling to remove pixels, little did they know, it just takes a few right-clicking and left-clicking to remove those pixels.

[@chriskenyarda]

YES! THANK YOU! Best tutorial on this and straight to the point!

[@amaresh0011]

[@thebikedecorators2020]

Hi

[@studiovulcan4411]

This isn't going to work for a lot of raster images. This one works because the twitch logo used is clean, and high-res. Take something designed at the resolution needed, with edges not created with the path tool (as this logo was) and watch how the path tool goes mental. I wish it was coded to better understand the image, but in our experience, work pathing hasn't been very viable, sadly.

[@Iceteethbear]

I know this comment was from 3 years ago, but do you think this would work better with images with higher dimensions on google. For example, would an image with the dimensions of 2000 x 2000 work better on this program than say an image with the dimension 250 x 250??

[@studiovulcan4411]

@@Iceteethbear I absolutely think something with more resolution would have a better result. More data for curves and parts of the image with unique shapes.

[@Iceteethbear]

@@studiovulcan4411 Sorry to ask again, but do you know what program the guy in the video uses? If this costs money, could you help me find one that's free.

[@studiovulcan4411]

@@Iceteethbear That's Photoshop.

Thank you very much!. Since I am doing this method then when I print my logo on a large scale it wont look awful?. Or do I still have to buy illustrator for that type of situation?

[@MarcioOliveira-fm8xq]

Thankyou that was ready helpful.

[@wyattdutton9066]

So once you save the photo as a .eps is it now a vector file or are there still things you need to do in Illustrator?

Hi - After spending 3 hours trying to figure out how to do this, your version worked great. My only issue is that the image that I have now as a vector when I bring it in illustrator it shows a thin white line around the letters. Is there a way to make it go away?

[@fine_gold]

Awesome tutorial. You obviously take pride in your work more than in your ego some people have those fancy intros that take 30 seconds.

[@glasswalkereye]

thank you dude!
