Vinyl cutters
Need vector paths to drive the cutting blade — a raster image has no path to follow.
Blurry logo, phone photo, or a design that only exists on a T-shirt someone else printed — we convert it into clean, scalable vector art. Every path is hand-traced by a professional artist, never run through auto-trace software, so it holds up at any size and on any output method.
Why it matters
JPGs and PNGs are made of pixels — they look fine at their original size, but enlarging them turns smooth edges into jagged stair-steps. Every production method below needs clean vector paths, not raster guesses.
Need vector paths to drive the cutting blade — a raster image has no path to follow.
Need vector for clean color separations with crisp, unbroken edges on press.
Needs vector for crisp output above 11×17 inches — raster pixelates when scaled up.
Uses vector as clean input — our own digitizing team asks for it for a reason.
Image to vector
Auto-trace software looks acceptable at first glance, then produces hundreds of unnecessary anchor points, mismatched colors and rough edges that fail at production. Every design here is traced by hand.
Accepted source files: JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, raster PDF, phone photos of physical artwork, even screen captures. Higher resolution helps but isn't required.

No per-format upcharges — every order includes every format you need. Need press-ready separations or a raster restoration instead? See color separation or high-resolution images.
How it works
Upload the image, plus garment color and ink count if it's headed to press.
We respond within 24 hours — often within a few hours — with the right approach.
An artist works the file manually — no auto-trace shortcuts at any stage.
Vector work ships same day, in every format you need.
Unlimited adjustments until the file is exactly production-ready.
Frequently asked questions
Raster images are made of pixels. They look fine at their original size, but print presses, vinyl cutters and large-format printers all need clean vector paths — they can't interpolate missing detail when a design is scaled up or separated into colors.
$15 per design for simple vector conversion. Complex designs — mascots, photo-realistic art, multi-object compositions — are quoted individually. Quotes are always free.
3–5 hours for vector art and image-to-vector conversion, same for simple or complex work once quoted.
Yes. Higher source resolution helps but isn't required — we've traced designs from screenshots, faded prints and photos of embroidered garments.
Every order includes AI, EPS, SVG and PDF at no extra charge. CDR is available on request. Need press-ready color separations instead? See our color separation page.
It helps but isn't required — our digitizing team can work from raster art directly. Clean vector input just makes the digitizing pass faster and often cheaper at volume.
Unlimited free revisions on every vector order, until the file is exactly right for production.
