Many times, you would need to convert one format to the other. Changing a vector based image into a vector one is called rasterizing. And this is what raster is, and now let's take a close look on how it it done.

How to Convert vector image to raster Maximum designing software applications – for example Adobe Illustrator have a “save as” or “export” feature. You can easily export the vector file as a pixel-based file. Editing the image resolution through keeping the pixel-per-inch at a correct level. For the web purpose and commonly it would be 72 – your selected color space is right for where you want to put it, in this way you can change any logo file of vector format to pixel-based file.

Vectorizing a bitmap image. A bitmap image detail get pixelated when enlarge or near viewer is taken to make it look accurate we turn it to vector. It can be done by changing pixels from bitmapped image or logo to a bunch of vectorized squares. Even without being an designing expert to understand the distorted look of an enlarged bitmap image. Till you are equipped with any Illustrator robot plug-in that can be used for all the AI, it is pretty difficult to convert bitmap to vector image.

Conclusion So this is it. The basic difference among rater and vector image, this also justifies the popularity of vector images for the logo designing over raster images. Now promotional campaigns are not only restricted to digital but print is also a part and the logo being the face of a brand must have the versatile along with quality. Various companies offer affordable logo design packages for vector logo designing with an extra edge to surpass the contenders.
