RASTER TO VECTOR CONVERSION SERVICE
We may need to enlarge images for various purposes. While printing the promotional materials such as logos, banners, screen printing, vehicle wraps, engraving, we need a vector file to get the best output. Raster to vector conversion services come into play in these respects. This conversion will give you the freedom to zoom-in the image files to any degree without losing the quality.
Converting bitmaps to vectors is time-consuming and tedious. If you do not have a team of professional image artists, then it will not be cost-effective to do the job by yourself. Therefore, outsourcing this service will be a cheaper and time-saving solution for you.

What is Vectorization
Vectorization is converting the raster graphics to vectors by manual actions. Though you can do it by automatic tools the result will not be ideal for the purpose. Therefore, to get the best results to fulfill the needs, a photo-artist does the job by hand.
Raster vs vector images
Raster or bitmap images are created from the grid of pixels. The pixels are square-shaped that contain color information. The common type of raster image formats is GIF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and so on. A raster image will contain a certain number of pixels. Therefore, when you enlarge the image, it will become blurry and you will see the grids with hundreds of pixels.
On the other hand, vector images are constructed with the geometric formula that defines the color and shape of the object. Common file formats for this type of graphic are AI, SVG, CDR, EPS, PICT, and so on. We can enlarge vector images to any size without losing the quality.

Single color vector or line art
In this method, we convert a photograph into vector lines to present the morph or skeleton of it. This type of conversion is necessary if you want to engrave a shape. As it needs manual input, the time required to finish this job depends on the complexity of the picture. If you want detailed artwork with more lines, then it will be more time-consuming.
Vector illustration of images
A photograph has a soft color tone. Vectorization means drawing the detail of it manually. A raster photograph can have millions of tiny pixels with millions of color variations. Reproduction of the same in vector drawing is not possible because there are no small pixels to carry the information of the tiny part of the photo. We can create the vector graphic of a photograph or a part of it to illustrate the subject as per the client’s requirement.
Exact copy conversion of art and logo design
If you have lost the original file of your logo or artwork, then you may need to reproduce it to make it scalable. You may need to use these files for product catalog, brochure, banner, and any other branding materials.
