Leave all the parameters as they are, and click apply.Under the single scan option in the Trace bitmap tab, use autotrace as the tracing method.

Open the Trace Bitmap menu by navigating to Path>Trace Bitmap ( Shift+Alt+B).Import the raster image you want to trace.The user will see the three filter options available: Brightness Cutoff This merely uses the sum of the red, green and blue (or shades of gray) of a pixel as an indicator of whether it should be considered black or white. Steps to Vectorize an image (basic Trace Bitmap) To use the tracer, load or import an image, select it, and select the PathTrace Bitmap item, or Shift+Alt+B. In Inkscape, the tool that is used for vectorizing images is called Trace Bitmap, and the overall operation is called tracing images, or image tracing. In this article we are going to explore how to vectorize (raster) images in Inkscape, also we will be building the vocabulary that is necessary for understanding the tool we are explaining. The digital world has been always displayed to us in a discrete way, in terms of 0’s and 1’s, bytes or pixels so, raster images were so popular (and still) because of their discrete nature, yet when vector images appeared on the stage, they really took the lights, vectors are different from rasters in their underlying mechanisms, where under the hood vectors are mathematical descriptions of paths and objects.
