What is a Vector file?

Vector files use lines, curves and shapes to create an image based on mathematical formulas.

 

Advantage of Vector:

Vector designs can be enlarged without getting pixelated or blurry.

 

Disadvantage of Vector:

Photographs and images usually can't be vectorized. Vector is best for shapes and text.

 

Which programs use Vector?

Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw are two popular vector art programs.

 

Common Vector Problem: Missing Font

 

  Solution 1:

If you are using a rare font, send us the font file (.ttf) with your vector design file (.ai .cdr)

 

Solution 2:

Alternatively, send us a copy of your file with all fonts converted to curves (outlined).

Be sure to save the original under a different name in case you want to edit the text later on.

 



What is a Raster file?

Raster files use pixels to display an image.

 

Advantage of Raster:

Raster files are good for photographs.

It can print well when you set your image size and quality high.

 

Disadvantage of Raster:

Raster files can look blurry when enlarged. Be sure to save at high quality from the start.

 

Which programs use Raster?

Adobe Photoshop is a popular raster program. Most images online are raster files as well.

 

Common Raster Problem: Low Quality Image

 

  Solution 1: Send a Higher Quality Image

When creating a new document in Photoshop, select Image > Image Size and set the quality to 300 DPI. Note that enlarging a low quality jpg will not increase the quality.

Once you have a higher quality image, send it to us!

 

Solution 2: Hire our Designer

For $30 per half hour, one of our Graphic Designers will help re-create your design.
