Most assets start life as raster images: a photo, a scanned sketch, an exported screenshot. That's fine until the asset needs to scale — a logo on a business card today, a building wrap tomorrow. Vectorizing it ahead of time saves a scramble later.
Know when you need a vector
If an asset is a logo, icon, line drawing, or anything that needs to scale cleanly from a favicon to a banner, it belongs in vector form. Photographs and richly textured images, on the other hand, are usually better left as raster.
Clean up before you convert
Vectorize works best on high-contrast source images. If your source has a busy background, run it through Remove Background first so the conversion focuses on the subject, not the noise around it.
Convert with Vectorize
Vectorize traces a raster image into clean vector paths — the same kind of file a print shop, a large-format printer, or a UI icon set expects.
"A vector file isn't 'higher resolution' — it has no resolution at all. That's exactly why it never looks blurry."
Tip: After vectorizing, zoom in past 400% and check the paths around fine details like text or thin lines. Simplify any path that looks noisier than the original artwork intended.
Reuse it everywhere
Once an asset is vectorized, Place Logo can drop it onto product photos, mockups, and social templates at any size without ever needing a second export.
A few minutes of vectorizing now means nobody has to ask "do we have a bigger version of this?" six months from now.
