GLORP – Pixel-art PNG to optimized SVG converter using greedy meshing

Summary: GLORP converts pixel-art PNGs into crisp, optimized SVGs using a "Monolith" merging algorithm that merges pixels to reduce file size. It supports batch processing of folders and is open source. The tool avoids blurred edges and messy paths common in other converters.

What it does

GLORP processes pixel-art PNG images into clean SVG files by merging adjacent pixels with a greedy meshing algorithm. It can batch convert multiple images quickly and is implemented in Python.

Who it's for

It is designed for pixel artists and creators needing clean, optimized SVGs from PNG pixel art without complex tools.

Why it matters

GLORP solves the problem of blurred edges and overly complex SVG paths, producing smaller, cleaner vector files suitable for pixel art.
