What exactly is a vector file - and why do we keep asking for one? 👀
If you’ve ever been asked to provide a “vector file” for your logo, you’re not alone in wondering what that means.
Vector artwork is made up of paths and shapes rather than pixels, which means it can be scaled up or down without losing quality. That makes it ideal for signage, from small interior graphics to large exterior signs.
Common vector file formats include .AI, .EPS, .SVG, and certain .PDFs.
One important note: simply saving a JPG or PNG as a PDF or EPS doesn’t make it a true vector file. The original artwork needs to be created as vector artwork.
