What are vector graphics?

What does vector graphics mean?

Vector graphics means that the logo/motif is drawn using “paths” instead of pixels. These paths are created using mathematical formulas, meaning the design is scalable. A logo created with vector graphics can be scaled without losing resolution or quality. Meaning you can increase (or decrease) the size by a thousand percent without the resolution getting any worse.

How can I tell if my design is a vector graphic?

If you open your logo in a program of your choosing that supports vector graphics and zoom in, you will clearly see whether the logo becomes blurry or pixelated around the edges or whether it retains its sharpness. The most common file formats for vectors are AI, EPS and PDF. Images and photos created in JPG and PNG format are always in pixel format, meaning they are not vectorised.

Can I convert my logo to a vector?

There are a number of different ways to convert an image from pixels to vectorised format. The most common programs that support vector graphics usually include a function that you can use to automatically convert pixelated images to vector format, but you need a good screen resolution to achieve a good result. If the resolution of your image is too low, the edges may become very uneven when you use this function and you will have to fix most of it yourself by hand.
