Raster to Vector Conversion

There are two kinds of computer graphics - raster (composed of pixels) and vector (composed of paths). Raster images are more commonly called bitmap images.

A bitmap image uses a grid of individual pixels where each pixel can be a different color or shade. Bitmaps are composed of pixels.

Vector graphics use mathematical relationships between points and the paths connecting them to describe an image. Vector graphics are composed of paths.

Vector drawings can be scalable to any size without any loss in quality. This makes them ideal for company logo's or other objects that have to be resized frequently.
We can convert your logo from a raster or (bitmap) image to a vector illustration. Your logo will be completely redrawn using the smallest amount of points as we can make it, the fewer the points the smaller the file size.

Bitmap images require higher resolutions and anti-aliasing for a smooth appearance. Vector-based graphics on the other hand are mathematically described and appear smooth at any size or resolution.

Bitmaps are best used for photographs and images with subtle shading. Graphics best suited for the vector format are Logos, page layout, type, line art or illustrations.

• If you want us to Re-draw your existing logo into a scalable vector graphic we can do this for £15 for a typical logo. Please note, more complicated logos will be more expensive. Just email your artwork and we'll give you a quote.
  
• You may have a logo that you designed yourself either created using photo editing software or perhaps a design that you've hand drawn, 90% of the time we can re-draw it into a vector graphic.

If you have a hand drawn image you can scan it at a minimum of 150 dpi and save as a JPG which you can then send by email.
