No tricks. No traps. Black outline on a transparent background.

Using Mac:

Super Vectorizer

Inkscape

Vectornator (AutoTrace) - They aren't any better

Didn't post your example because none of the settings I tried worked.

What settings should I use to get the best possible result?

And, why is it so hard?

I attached the vectors I got with VS.0_1649264673534_imagetrace1.vstyler

Another option is to use "Extract Stroke", but the joining points are not yet handled well.

Looks like there are some issues in creating smooth curves in this case. I added this to the backlog as a bug.
Is there a larger resolution image for this example?
