Vectorisation

‹ All services

We rebuild raster graphics as true vector files: path by path, in Illustrator, by hand. Photographs, illustrations, logos, device screens, technical drawings — up to photorealistic quality.

Why not auto-trace

Auto-trace smears an image into patches that resemble the original from a distance. Up close there are no accurate outlines and no correct fills: hundreds of unnecessary anchor points, jagged edges, broken letterforms, colours split into bands. Artwork like that cannot be fixed afterwards — there are no outlines or shapes to work on, so every change means starting from scratch.

We redraw instead. Every anchor point is placed deliberately, every curve is drawn by hand. That is why we also work from poor sources — low resolution, a scan, a screen capture. The quality of the result does not depend on the quality of the original, only on how much work it takes to get there.

From photograph to vector

Photorealistic vectorisation is the most demanding work we do: rebuilding a photograph as a drawing, keeping the shapes, tonal transitions and detail. This is how illustrations for owner's manuals and quick reference guides are made — from a product photograph that will never go to print itself.

No automated tool does this. A photorealistic vector calls for decisions an algorithm will not make: what to simplify, what to keep, where an edge runs when the photograph does not show it.

What we rebuild

Photographs. Device screens and control panels. Technical drawings and schematics. Logos, compliance marks, pictograms. Illustrations and marketing graphics.

What you get

Files in the formats print and further processing accept: AI, EPS, PDF, SVG. With layers, correct fills and — wherever text appears — text that remains editable and translatable. The artwork stays sharp from a business card to a trade show wall, because there is no resolution in it to run out of.
