GET STARTED  

Achieving a polished vector image demands an excessive amount of effort.

However, achieving accurate vector conversions demands considerable time and patience. Fortunately, you don't have to invest excessive time refining each vector manually in Photoshop.

  • The majority of photos exist as raster files in their original form, identified by filenames ending in .jpg, .png, .gif, .pdf, or .psd. Raster files, composed of pixels, prove highly effective for online use, such as on your website or online store.

    However, resizing raster files, especially for significant applications like a large poster, may result in pixelation due to their reliance on image resolution.

    In contrast, vector files are more mathematical in nature. They consist of a series of points on a graph with X and Y axes, forming straight and/or curved paths. Since they are not pixel-based, vector images can be resized to any dimension without compromising quality.

  • The most effective approach to converting a raster to a vector file is through meticulous manual recreation of the original image. The process of transforming an image from raster to vector entails the manual reconstruction of the image in vector format. While automation is possible, the results often fall short of ideal.

    Automated raster-to-vector conversion tends to produce large files with a restricted color palette, leading to significant inaccuracies. The software relies on interpreting edges and shapes based on the image's colors, but the outcomes are typically imprecise.

    Especially when dealing with more intricate images, there is no substitute for the human eye. Only a human can accurately interpret the nature of the object, discerning the nuances between object edges and shadows or distinguishing between the object and the background.

  • Vector files prove highly advantageous for a variety of printed materials, such as banners, business cards, t-shirts, and mugs. They serve as an effective solution for enhancing older, blurred graphics or images with low resolutions. Additionally, when crafting a new graphic or logo, utilizing vector files ensures avoidance of distortion or loss of quality, especially when enlarging or printing the design.

    Here are some of the top reasons our clients convert raster images to vector images:

    • Transforming a photo or hand-drawn image into a graphic.
    • Minimizing printing expenses by reducing the required number of color plates for printing your image.
    • Offering vector line art for engraving purposes.
    • Designing and printing custom graphics for signage to effectively promote your business.
  • Vector images offer enhanced detail, making it convenient to convert them into raster format independently. Here's a step-by-step guide:

    1. Open your vector image using a raster-based photo-editing application like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, or Corel Paintshop Pro. A pop-up window may appear, prompting you to specify the dimensions of your rasterized graphic. If prompted, set the dimensions to at least 3,000 pixels on the largest side to ensure a final graphic suitable for various print and digital retina display applications.
    2. Click on "Save As." If you're using Adobe Illustrator for the vector-to-raster conversion, select "Export" > "Export As."
    3. Under "File Type," choose one of the following file formats to save your image as a raster file:
    4. If preserving transparency is crucial, opt for .png (ideal for web or PowerPoint graphics) or .psd (suitable for print graphics or images requiring additional processing).
    5. That's it! Once you save your image in one of these formats, it will automatically be stored as a raster image.
