Place Image
Insert raster images into an existing document. Use Command + K for the main Place Image workflow.
Raster images can be opened, placed, linked, embedded, traced, filtered or converted into vector-driven mosaic artwork.

Keep image artwork linked to its original file rather than embedding it immediately. This supports lighter documents and external asset updates.
Track placed image status, relink files, embed images, extract embedded files or reveal a linked asset in Finder.
PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, HEIC and HEIF images can be opened as new documents and used as source material.
Convert a selected placed image or imported raster file into editable vector paths, available from Object and Filter workflows.
Turn a selected image into a grid of vector or generated tiles based on sampled image color. It is useful for poster effects and stylized raster-to-vector treatments.
Apply SVG filter-based effects such as brightness, contrast, saturation, blur, sepia, invert and grayscale while keeping the artwork editable.
Convert selected vector objects to a raster representation inside the SVG when a bitmap treatment is needed.
This should show a placed bitmap, the Links palette, Image Trace options, and the traced vector result beside the original.
