I build things when tools frustrate me.

Right now I’m experimenting with turning AI-generated images
into cleaner, more usable SVGs.

Sharing progress, failures, and learnings here.

Created a service
and no one is visiting

- png to svg service
- customized AI model used
- 100% guarantee this is better than
any svg converter in the world

thought it would fly right after launch
but it's not 🥲

What is the best for logo generation?

Nanobanana vs midjourney vs chatgpt

[Brian | Building PerfectVector.com @brian_aum]

@lucas__crespo cooool!! I find it's really not easy to code something like this even with AI assist

[Brian | Building PerfectVector.com @brian_aum]

Midjourney vs ChatGPT

which is better for design work?
which do you prefer?

MJ generated hamster sticker, ran through two vectorizers

Same ear curve, node count:
328 -> 63

Much easier to edit

I built the second one

@JonBuildsHQ SVG converter

I want more followers!!!!!!

[Brian | Building PerfectVector.com @brian_aum]

every month brings a better AI img generator

the output is still a flat png

can't move one element
can't isolate layer
can't tweak a curve

you can re-roll the prompt and hope

Generation was the easy part
Editing what you generated is hell

AI enforced SVG converter!
GPU cost is crazy though 🥲

@suni_code https://t.co/AlSOf8rCxn
AI forged svg converter!

@Kingsholz Hi!!!!!

[Brian | Building PerfectVector.com @brian_aum]

@SahilBloom please... no
let me go!!

Showed a coworker the screen I'd been building for a week.
He asked why I didn't just have AI do it.
So I gave him the next one.
Day 2. Still going.

Even if AI is been used, design+FE work takes time dude

Spent 30+ minutes asking Midjourney to move one element.

Eventually gave up and built my own vectorizer.

PNG in, editable SVG out, ~30 seconds.

Free tier, no credit card: https://t.co/AlSOf8rCxn

finally, incorporating a company
feels like having a second wedding with my cofounder
let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

[Brian | Building PerfectVector.com @brian_aum]

@marclou simple is the best. always.
don't distract users

[Brian | Building PerfectVector.com @brian_aum]

@shariar_design looks cool! hmmm I guess needs many ping pong with AI to generate a design like this
