I’ve released **beztrace** , a small open-source macOS tool for converting clean raster glyphs and symbols into editable cubic Bézier outlines.

It can export ready-to-use SVG files, which is useful for turning generated images or sketches into vector artwork for further editing.

beztrace is currently a standalone command-line tool. Integration with **Glyphs MCP Server** is also planned, so traced outlines will eventually be transferable directly into Glyphs through the MCP workflow.

It’s still an early release, so feedback is very welcome.
