Vector vs Raster
Vector graphics use mathematical formulas to define shapes, lines, and colors, making them infinitely scalable without quality loss. Unlike raster images (JPG, PNG), vectors maintain crisp edges at any size.
Common Vector Formats
SVG for web, AI for Adobe Illustrator, EPS for print, PDF for documents, and CDR for CorelDRAW. Each format has specific strengths for different applications and workflows.
🤔 Did You Know?
When working with vector graphics:
- •Vector images can be scaled to any size without losing quality, unlike raster images (JPG, PNG)
- •SVG files are actually XML text files that can be edited with a text editor
- •Vector formats typically have smaller file sizes than equivalent raster images
- •Some vector formats support animation and interactivity (like SVG)
- •Converting between vector formats may result in the loss of special effects or proprietary features
"Vector graphics are like digital origami - infinitely foldable and adaptable while maintaining their essential structure."
🎨 Fun Facts About Vector Formats
- •The EPS format was created in 1987 by Adobe and was one of the first widely-used vector formats.
- •SVG was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1999 and is now supported natively by all modern web browsers.
- •Adobe Illustrator's AI format is based on PDF, which means most AI files can be opened in PDF viewers.
- •The term "vector" comes from mathematics, referring to quantities that have both magnitude and direction.
💼 Vector Format Applications
Different vector formats excel in specific use cases:
- •SVG: Perfect for web graphics, icons, and responsive designs that need to scale across devices
- •AI: Industry standard for professional graphic design and illustration work
- •EPS: Preferred for print production and professional publishing workflows
- •PDF: Ideal for documents that combine text, images, and vector graphics
- •CDR: Native format for CorelDRAW, popular in signage and textile industries
🎯 Why Convert Between Vector Formats?
Converting between vector formats allows you to:
- •Use graphics across different software applications that support specific formats
- •Create web-friendly versions (SVG) of graphics created in professional design software
- •Archive designs in formats with better long-term compatibility
- •Convert legacy vector formats to modern standards
- •Optimize vector files for specific use cases like web, print, or CNC machining
- •Ensure compatibility with client requirements or production workflows
