Bunting Labs AI Vectorizer

What Bunting Labs AI Vectorizer is

Bunting Labs AI Vectorizer is a QGIS plugin for digitizing features from geologic maps, engineering drawings, aerial imagery, and other maps. It works with a raster map and a LineString, MultiLine, or Polygon layer, detects features from line styles or polygon fills, and lets users control what is digitized and correct errors. Results go directly to vector layers, including GeoPackage, Shapefile, and other vector formats, and can be exported to ArcGIS and CAD. Listed uses include geology features, as-built utilities and plans, and aerial features such as buildings, water, fields, and roads. Bunting Labs says it was trained on tens of thousands of data points spanning maps from about 200 years old to recent ones, and claims digitizing takes half the time of the fastest humans at comparable accuracy. Personal costs $29 a month, billed monthly, with 120 completions per day. Professional costs $99 a month, billed monthly, with unlimited AI Vectorizer use, zero data retention, no training on data, and 100 georeferences per month. A one-day trial costs $1; the subscription starts charging afterward unless canceled.

Who it suits

It suits QGIS users digitizing features from maps into vector layers, including geology, engineering, and aerial imagery workflows.

Limits

Personal allows 120 completions per day, and its subscription data may be used to improve products. Professional includes unlimited AI Vectorizer use and 100 georeferences per month, with zero data retention and no training on customer data. The $1 trial provides complete access for one day; monthly billing starts afterward unless canceled.

Getting started

1. Install a recent version of QGIS.
2. Find the plugin in the QGIS plugin repository and install it.
3. Open a raster map and a LineString, MultiLine, or Polygon vector layer.
4. Choose the features to digitize and correct results as needed.
5. Select a plan or begin the $1 one-day trial.

Verdict

The plugin combines feature detection with user control and vector-layer output in QGIS. Review the plan limits, trial terms, and data-use distinction before choosing a subscription.
