What are vector graphics?
Vector graphics are images made up of “paths” instead of pixels. Since they can be scaled without losing quality, they are often used for creating logos or animations.
What are three examples of vector graphics?
- SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
- AI (Adobe Illustrator)
- EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
How to convert a PNG to a vector
Use software like Adobe Illustrator or free tools like Inkscape. Import the PNG, trace it to create vector paths, and export the result as an SVG or AI file.
Are vector graphics still used?
Vector graphics are still widely used, especially in logos, icons, illustrations, and print designs, due to their scalability while maintaining quality.
How do you know if a graphic is a vector?
You can tell a graphic is a vector if it remains clear and sharp when scaled to any size. If you see file formats like SVG, AI, and EPS, that typically means you’re using vector graphics.
