Vector Graphics Definition
In contrast to raster images that are collections of pixels, usually created in bitmap (described with file extension names such as jpeg and/or tiff) and currently the sole graphic type for actual photographic images, vector graphics are made of points, lines, curves, and polygons, there is a mathematical proportion to these distinct parts making them more versatile for different uses.
· Resolution Independent: A vectorised/ vectorized image has no jaggedness, no loss in detail and can be printed at any resolution.
· Size Independent: The image can be scaled up or down without any loss in quality.
· Can be Updated or Partially Changed: Vector images or vector files can be upgraded, colors changed and scaled without any loss of detail or quality.
· Can be archived and stored for later use: The archive of the vector art can be used for Literature, Manuals, Brochures, Newspapers, Service bulletins and a host of areas.

“Image to Vector” Online Service vs. Software Vector Converters
Sign, print-wear and graphic design companies that need to convert raster images to vectors do so at the expense of under-utilized manpower, longer work hours and tedious effort. And so they rely on software to provide automatic raster to vector conversions at a one time cost. Companies think that this toolset is comprehensive enough to handle image editing requirements. But is it really so?
Multiple online reviews have mentioned that most of these software
· Come with little or no support at all
· Require a significant initial cash out requirement
· Lack tools to complete more complicated graphic conversions
Most vector conversion applications offer a similar range of abilities--raster cleanup tools such as despeckling and deskewing, and raster editing tools for scaling, merging, and deleting. To quote David Byrnes, an AutoCAD applications reviewer, “What sets programs apart is their ability to vectorize.” However, many softwares upgrade so fast that once a purchase has been made on the first version an updated one is scheduled to launch 15 minutes later, making the initial purchase practically obsolete.
Hand-made vector conversion service resolves difficult recognition problems that are often hard-wired into the program. According to one software website, “No raster to vector converter is capable of perfectly accurate results. Perfection in raster to vector conversion is like a hole-in-one at golf - it's the perfect fluke!” The process of scanning, cleaning, converting and then editing still requires a thinking person operating the software, and this is why companies turn to vector conversion service providers or end up hiring one themselves. Take any vinyl sign or vector based graphic and consider the amount of time and effort it took to convert all those images. This makes ‘Image to Vector’s online vector conversion service the better choice.

Expanded use for Vector Graphics
Logo creation
Your logo represents your company. It is essential that the design and file composite be versatile. This should be scalable for further use in other marketing materials.
Printing
According to Wikipedia, Vector art is key for printing. Since the art is made from a series of mathematical curves it will print very crisp even when resized. For instance one can take the same vector logo and print it on a business card, and then enlarge it to billboard size and keep the same crisp quality. A low-resolution raster graphic would blur incredibly if it were enlarged from business card size to billboard size.
Marketing collateral & promotional materials
Converting raster to vector service is required for marketing companies that demand fast turn around for vector conversions to be used in promotional products. Vector artwork is widely used by most printers because they can easily generate positive and negative film which they use to transfer logo or image onto a product.
Portability
Because of the mathematical proportions used in vectors, the file is typically smaller. It can be resized without losing quality.
Macromedia Flash designs
The key to effective flash web design is keeping the file small as not to weigh down the page. Vectors, being small and scalable, are key elements of flash design.
Illustrations
Enable illustration editing using vectors. Illustrations can be re-sized, rotated, distorted and edited when composites are vectors without losing line quality. Property changes such as color alterations can be done as well without having to start all over
