Vector files are designs that are made up of points with definite positions on an X and Y-axis. You cannot easily scale a rasterized image without ruining its quality. This presents a disadvantage of raster files: Simply “zoom” in to a rasterized image and this becomes clear (you’ll see the dots themselves rather than the picture and the image will be “pixelated”). On the other hand, if you want to increase the size of that artwork so that it’s larger than the original file size, or if there are not a lot of dots per inch, the quality will be poor. The more dots you have in a rasterized image, the cleaner and crisper the photo or art. All digital photographs are rasterized images because they are inherently made up of these dots, however artwork can be saved as a raster file as well. Raster files are images that comprise thousands of little colored dots.

If you want to produce the highest quality images for web design, marketing campaigns, and print materials, it is very important that you work with a professional who has an understanding of these differences to determine which imprint method will work best for you.
You will likely work with some combination of the two as you produce various design materials for your brand. There are two types of art files: raster files and vector files. If you need an image traced into a vector format, please reach out to us. Our award-winning graphic design team can help you vector trace your rasterized files so that you can scale images (larger and smaller) while still retaining their clarity.
