When fine-tuning your SVG images, various detail and filter settings may be adjusted according to the specific style you’re pursuing. However, the focus should be on producing clean, smooth SVG images, avoiding complexity and jaggedness. More often than not, ‘Internal 1’, ‘2’, or ‘3’ might be your go-to filter settings, though ‘Edge’ could be more suitable depending on the specific requirements of your project.

Initiate your process using the default settings for smoothness, simplifying curves, and despeckling, and consider adjustments if initial results aren’t satisfactory. Ensuring that only two colors are selected is crucial, typically one dark/black and one light/white. To manage colors, click on the image to add and use the trash icon next to the color for removal.
Pro Tips Image editing
