Core vector service

Raster to Vector Conversion for JPG, PNG & Scans

A raster image is built from pixels. A vector image is defined by paths and shapes that can scale without the same pixelation. We convert suitable raster artwork into clean, editable vector files for branding, production, and design workflows.

What this service covers

What can be converted?

Common sources include JPG logos, transparent PNG graphics, scanned black-and-white drawings, screenshots, and image exports. Flat illustrations and logos often convert more naturally to editable shapes than complex photographs.

Conversion is not a magic enhancement

A vector output does not automatically restore missing details. Blurry lettering, compression artifacts, and heavily textured images require judgment, reconstruction, or a simplified interpretation. We confirm these decisions with you when accuracy depends on them.

Vector outputs for different tools

Tell us whether your recipient needs AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF. Some workflows also call for outlined text, solid-color shapes, or special sizing. We review these as part of the file requirements instead of making one generic export for every project.

What happens after you upload

Share your raster source, where it will be used, and any dimensions. We review complexity, confirm the scope and format, then redraw and deliver the agreed result after proof review.

FAQ

Raster to Vector Conversion: Common Questions

Straight answers before you upload. More questions are answered on the full FAQ page.

Can any JPG be turned into a vector?

Many logos and graphics can be reconstructed. Photographs require a different artistic approach and may not reproduce as a compact set of editable shapes.

Will the vector look identical to the original?

We aim for visual fidelity where the source is clear. Hidden or damaged details may need a confirmed interpretation.

Is SVG better than AI or EPS?

The best format depends on the recipient and intended use. Provide the printer or application requirements so the deliverable can be chosen correctly.
