Vectorize an Image

When it comes to creating digital artwork or graphics, vector images are an excellent choice because they are infinitely scalable without losing their quality. Vectorization is converting a raster image (a regular image made up of pixels) into a Vector image (made up of paths, shapes, and curves). In this article, we’ll explore the steps involved in vectorizing an image.

Choose Your Image

The first step is to choose the image you want to vectorize. Keep in mind that not all images are suitable for vectorization. Simple, high-contrast images with clear outlines tend to work best. Raster images like JPEG files can handle high-quality photographs, the vector format is better for graphic design, logos, and illustrations.

Select Your Vectorization Tool

There are many vectorization tools or software available, both free and paid. Vectorizing software converts pixel-based images into vector data models in an automated way. Adobe Illustrator is a popular choice, but there are also online tools like Vector Magic, Inkscape, and CorelDRAW. Select the tool that works best for you and your budget.

Open Your Image in Your Vectorization Tool

Once you’ve chosen your tool, open the image you want to vectorize. In most cases, you’ll need to import the image into the tool. Once the image is imported, you’ll be ready to start vectorizing.

Adjust Your Settings

Before you start vectorizing, you’ll want to adjust your settings. The majority of vectorization programs feature parameters that let you change the finished image’s smoothness, color scheme, and amount of detail. This includes image tracing and cropping image etc.  Experiment with these settings until you find the combination that works best for your image.

Vectorize Your Image

Now it’s time to vectorize your image. The process will vary depending on the tool you’re using, but in general, you’ll need to trace the outlines of the image using a pen or pencil tool. You’ll also need to fill in any areas of color. You can choose the option of High Fidelity Photo for more original looks as Low Fidelity Photo will give the image a cartoony appearance. This can be a time-consuming process, but the result will be worth it.

Refine Your Image

Once your image is vectorized, you may need to refine it. Here you can make adjustments and editing to your image like adjusting color, modifying the angles and shapes and adding more information. Take the time to make these adjustments until you’re happy with the final result.

Save Your Vector Image

Finally, save your vector image in a format that works best for you. Popular formats include SVG, AI, PDF, CDR, and EPS.

Finally, vectorizing an image is a detailed process but it creates images that are detailed and can be enlarged without blurring. By using right software and according to your need you can create beautiful and high quality images. Excellent Digitizing Services offers high quality vectorizing services at reasonable rates.
