Vector art conversion

Vector art conversion, redrawn by hand — not auto-traced.

A blurry JPG, a faded print, a photo of an old shirt or a logo pulled from a website: we redraw it as clean vector artwork with real paths, matched or live type and named colours. The result is ready for screen printing, embroidery digitizing, vinyl, laser engraving or signage.

What you get

Manual redraws

Every curve is placed by hand. Auto-trace tools create thousands of wobbly nodes; a redraw uses as few as the shape needs.

Type matched or rebuilt

Fonts are identified and set as type where possible, or rebuilt as clean outlines when the lettering is custom.

Colours named

Flat colours are separated and labelled so printers can match them, and gradients are kept only where the process allows.

Every format

AI, EPS, SVG and PDF delivered together, so the same file works for the printer, the sign shop and the web.

Why raster artwork causes problems

Raster images — JPG, PNG, GIF, screenshots — are grids of pixels. Enlarge one and the edges turn soft and jagged. Printers cannot separate its colours cleanly, cutters and engravers cannot follow its outlines, and digitizers have to guess where each shape really ends.

Vector artwork describes shapes mathematically, so it scales to any size with perfectly sharp edges. That is why screen printers, embroiderers, sign makers and engravers ask for vector files, and why a good redraw is often the first step before any other production work.

Vector art for embroidery and print

Because we also digitize and separate artwork, redraws are prepared with the next step in mind: small details are adjusted so they survive stitching or halftoning, and shapes are built so they are easy to separate by colour. If you need a stitch file or print separations as well, the redraw is added to that job.
