Based on our record, potrace seems to be a lot more popular than Karbon. While we know about 14 links to potrace, we've tracked only 1 mention of Karbon. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Similarly, Karbon (part of the Calligra suite) absorbed the suite's dedicated flowchart tool, and is pretty functional for this purpose, but it's primarily developed for Linux. While they have Windows installers, they're not the easiest to find and aren't directly supported. Source: about 2 years ago

As the author mentions PNG to SVG conversion, there is Potrace [1]. I think you need to convert to BMP before. It's a pretty nice tool. I have used it a couple of times. [1] https://potrace.sourceforge.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
The answer to your question is Potrace. There's probably a wrapper API available for whatever language you're using (presumably Python), or you can simply run it as a command line tool. Potrace is used behind the scenes for image tracing in Inkscape, the most popular open source vector design app, and I've also seen it used in a plugin someone built for Stable Diffusion/A1111 that does exactly what you're trying...
