How to Buy Vector Images

Vector images have a distinct advantage over raster images-they can be printed at any size without loss of quality. Because the images are created using formulations of curves, lines and fills rather than being compromised of pixel information, a user can adjust the size and the software simply recalculates appropriately. In addition, vector images are needed for certain jobs, such as vinyl cutting and other signage.
