: Illustrator CC - Creating an object mosaic but ignore transparent pixels? I decided that converting my pixel images to vector through Inkscape was a lot of work and it couldn't convert 16px

I decided that converting my pixel images to vector through Inkscape was a lot of work and it couldn't convert 16px images without being resized first.

The only problem is that it creates a 16x16 grid no matter what, and all the transparent pixels are filled in with white.

Here's some visuals, starting with the options I use:

Alternative Method

As an alternative you can Image Trace and find the preset that works for you. In this case High Fidelity Photo then click the Expand button next to the dropdown menu in the screenshot.
