Frequently Asked Questions

What are vector graphics?

Vector graphics are digital images created using mathematical equations rather than pixels. Unlike raster graphics (like photos), vector graphics use geometric shapes, lines, curves, and colors defined by mathematical formulas. This makes them infinitely scalable without losing quality.

What is SVG?

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based vector image format that describes images using text-based code. SVG files are human-readable, editable, and supported by all modern web browsers. They're perfect for web use and can be scaled to any size without quality loss.

How are vector graphics different from raster graphics?

Raster graphics (like JPG, PNG) are made of pixels and lose quality when scaled up. Vector graphics use mathematical equations and can be scaled infinitely without losing quality. Vectors are also typically smaller in file size and fully editable.

Are your tools free to use?

Yes! All our vector graphics tools are completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, watermarks, or limitations on downloads. You can convert as many images and generate as many vectors as you need.

How does the AI vector generator work?

Our AI vector generator uses advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze your text description and create corresponding vector graphics. The AI considers factors like composition, colors, style, and subject matter to generate professional-quality SVG vectors.

What should I include in my text description?

Be as specific as possible! Include details about:

• Subject matter and main elements
• Colors and color schemes
• Art style (minimalist, realistic, abstract, etc.)
• Composition and layout preferences
• Any specific requirements or details

Why do I need to choose an aspect ratio?

Different projects require different dimensions. Aspect ratio determines the shape and proportions of your vector graphic. Choose based on your intended use:

• 1:1 for social media profiles
• 16:9 for banners and headers
• 9:16 for mobile content
• 4:3 for presentations

How long does AI generation take?

AI vector generation typically takes 10-30 seconds, depending on the complexity of your description and current server load. More detailed descriptions may take slightly longer to process.

Can I modify the generated vectors?

Yes! Generated vectors are standard SVG files that can be edited with any vector graphics software like Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, or Affinity Designer. You can modify colors, shapes, and styles as needed.

What image formats do you support?

We support all major image formats including:

• JPG/JPEG
• PNG (with transparency support)
• GIF (static images)
• WebP
• TIFF
• BMP

What's the maximum file size I can upload?

You can upload files up to 10MB in size. For best results, we recommend using high-quality images between 1-5MB. Larger files may take longer to process but will generally produce better results.

How accurate is the photo to vector conversion?

Our AI-powered conversion produces high-quality results, but the accuracy depends on the source image. Photos with:

• Good lighting and contrast
• Clear, distinct subjects
• High resolution
• Sharp focus

will generally produce the best vector conversion results.

Can I convert animated GIFs?

Currently, we convert animated GIFs to static vector graphics. Each frame would need to be processed individually if you want multiple versions.

Does PNG transparency get preserved?

Yes! PNG files with transparency (alpha channels) are fully supported, and the transparency information is preserved in the vector output.

What software do I need to edit SVG files?

You can edit SVG files with:

• Free options: Inkscape, Vectr, Boxy SVG
• Professional options: Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, Sketch
• Online editors: Figma, Canva, Vectr

Can I use SVG files in my website?

Absolutely! SVG files are perfect for web use. You can:

• Use them as tags
• Embed them inline in HTML
• Style them with CSS
• Animate them with JavaScript

Are vector files smaller than raster files?

Generally yes! Vector files use mathematical descriptions rather than storing data for each pixel, so they typically have much smaller file sizes, especially for images with lots of solid colors or simple shapes.

Can I print vector graphics?

Yes! Vector graphics are perfect for printing because they can be scaled to any size without losing quality. They're ideal for:

• Business cards and stationery
• Posters and banners
• Billboards and large format printing
• Merchandise and promotional materials

Do you store my uploaded images?

We respect your privacy! Uploaded images are processed immediately and deleted from our servers shortly after processing. We never store, share, or sell your personal images or data.

What are the best practices for describing images to the AI?

For best results:

• Use detailed, specific descriptions
• Include style keywords (minimalist, vintage, modern)
• Specify colors and color schemes
• Mention composition preferences
• Try different descriptions if you're not satisfied

Which aspect ratio should I choose?

Choose based on your intended use:

• Square (1:1): Social media profiles, icons, general use
• Landscape (16:9): Banners, headers, presentations
• Portrait (9:16): Mobile content, stories, vertical graphics
• Classic (4:3): Traditional presentations, photos
• Photo (3:2): Standard photography format

How can I get better quality results?

To improve your results:

• Use high-resolution source images
• Ensure good lighting and contrast
• Write detailed, specific descriptions
• Choose appropriate aspect ratios
• Try different variations if needed

Can I use these tools for commercial projects?

Yes! You can use all generated vector graphics for both personal and commercial projects without any restrictions or licensing fees.

Why is the conversion taking so long?

Conversion time depends on:

• Image complexity and size
• Current server load
• Your internet connection speed

Most conversions complete within 30 seconds. If it's taking longer, try refreshing the page and trying again.

What should I do if I get poor quality results?

If you're not satisfied with the results:

• Try a different description for AI generation
• Use a higher quality source image
• Ensure the image has good contrast and lighting
• Try the conversion again with the same image

Why can't I upload my file?

Common upload issues:

• File size exceeds 10MB limit
• File format is not supported
• Network connection issues
• Browser cache or compatibility issues

Try refreshing the page or using a different browser if problems persist.

The download button isn't working. What should I do?

If downloads aren't working:

• Check your browser's download settings
• Ensure you have sufficient storage space
• Try the "Copy SVG Code" button instead
• Clear your browser cache and try again

Can I convert multiple images at once?

Currently, our tools process one image at a time for optimal quality. For multiple images, process them individually and organize the results as needed.

Can I edit the generated SVG code directly?

Yes! Since SVG is XML-based, you can edit the code directly in any text editor. You can also use the "Copy SVG Code" button to get the raw SVG markup for manual editing or use in web projects.

How do I optimize SVG files for web use?

To optimize SVG files:

• Remove unnecessary metadata
• Simplify complex paths
• Use consistent naming conventions
• Minimize the code using SVG optimizers
• Consider using gzipping on your web server

Can I animate vector graphics?

Yes! SVG supports animation through:

• CSS animations and transitions
• JavaScript manipulation
• SVG SMIL animations
• Third-party animation libraries

What are the limitations of vector graphics?

Vector graphics limitations include:

• Not ideal for complex photographs with many colors
• Can become slow to render with extreme complexity
• May not capture fine details as well as high-resolution raster images
• Some printing devices may have compatibility issues
