Test this vectorization site, if your image is sharp it works pretty well

without the need to use a third-party "online" tool (beware of data confidentiality)

there is the "SW - Autotrace add-on" which could correspond:

Hello, yes I do it with Autotrace as well. Be careful, however, the better the quality of the image, the better it works!! :)

but its rough up the work well.
