What Is a Vector Version of an Image?

A vector graphic is artwork made of points, lines and curves based on mathematical equations. Raster images, in contrast, are made of pixels, which are tiny solid-colored squares. As a result, when you resize a vector drawing, its lines, curves and points stay perfectly smooth. That way, an image can be enlarged for large-format prints, banners and dimensional letters without any problems.

What Is a Vector Image Used For?

Vector images are useful for large-format reproduction of any kind. Because the image is made of geometric lines and curves instead of pixels, we can use it with CNC machines and laser cutters to make letters and dimensional signs of any size. For example, a router can cut large letters with smooth edges. Likewise, vinyl cutters can produce large lettering for signs and vehicles. In short, a vector image can grow without limit and never lose resolution.

Vector Conversion Services

Want us to vectorize your logo? Send us your low-resolution logo, and we’ll give you a price up front. The process takes time, so if your logo is complex, we’ll base the estimate on hourly design time and how you plan to use it. Please note that the vector drawings we create belong to us unless we transfer the usage rights by agreement and sale.

How to Make My Logo Vector (Vectorize My Logo)

Send us your logo or image, and let us vectorize it for you. In general, we offer this service to customers who are buying signs from our Edgewater, MD shop. First, we convert your image into line art. Then we clean it up and revise it as needed.

Some symbols have a lot of detail, so they take quite a bit of time to finish well. Similarly, a very low-resolution image needs extra editing before the lines come out smooth.

Finally, we can add any color to your vector logo.
