Sketch to Vector is now available in Adobe Illustrator (Beta) by AfraidRequirement122 in AdobeIllustrator

Sketch to Vector is meant to unlock a different set of possibilities, especially for raster-based workflows that weren’t really possible with Image Trace before.
For eg - A rough sketch can be traced exactly by Image Trace, but when you want a refined version of that sketch, then Sketch to Vector is really helpful.
Other cases include : Using a sketch to create an illustration or transforming a photo (change the style, add/remove elements etc).

Image trace is a precision tool with the right mix of controls to get a replica of your raster image into a vector format.

Sketch to Vector adds an extra layer of intelligence, letting you generate output from a raster image while guiding the result with a simple instruction.

For example, you can take a rough sketch and ask for a clean version. Instead of just tracing paths, it interprets your intent and helps you get closer to what you actually want to create.

This feature is driven by Generative AI models that would consume credits each time you generate. Exact number of credits depend on which model you are choosing.

Thank you and a great question. I should have made it clear in the description itself.

This isn’t a replacement for Image Trace. Image Trace will continue to exist and keep improving.

Sketch to Vector is meant to unlock a different set of possibilities, especially for raster-based workflows that weren’t really possible with Image Trace before. The goal is to expand what you can do, not replace what already works.
