Quick answer: A raster image, such as a JPG or PNG, is made of pixels and gets blurry when enlarged. A vector image is made of lines and shapes, so it stays sharp at any size. You need a vector logo for printing, packaging, signs and professional design work.
Raster images
Photos and most web images are raster. They are fine at one size, but enlarging them makes edges look pixelated.
Vector images
Logos and icons are best as vectors. The same file works on a small label or a large banner, and designers can edit colors and shapes easily.
When you need a vector file
- Printing on packaging, labels and banners
- Product designs and merchandise
- Sharing your logo with a designer or printer
Converting an image to vector
If you only have a JPG or PNG logo, a designer can redraw it as a clean vector file. This is called vector tracing or vectorizing.
