How to Turn a Drawing Into a Vector

Once you have your sketch or drawing ready, you can start transforming it into a vector using the tool. With this tool, you can edit the paths and rearrange/edit points to change the graphic. Afterwards, you can save the drawing as a vector file.

Edit paths by nodes tool

You can turn a drawing into a vector using the Edit paths by nodes tool in Inkscape. This tool lets you fine-tune a path and edit the anchor points. Click and drag the anchor points to move them to a new location. You can also adjust the direction of the segment lines.

In the Paths Tab, you can also add or delete nodes. This will make the paths simpler and save you time. You can also remove Bezier Nodes that are unnecessary. This will make the path easier to edit, reduce file size, and render faster.

Next, click the Node tool on the selected path. If the object contains more than one anchor point, click on the second anchor point. If there is a second downward curve, click on the second anchor point to select it. You can then select the second downward curve and convert it to a straight line by clicking on it twice.

Rearrange/edit points to alter the graphic

In Illustrator, you can rearrange/edit points to alter a drawing. This way, you can add, delete, and change small details. You can also select multiple points inside a closed shape and deselect them. To edit a vector graphic, you must be in the vector editing mode.

Save a drawing as a vector

If you’re using Adobe Illustrator to create a drawing, you need to know how to save it as a vector file. There are several file formats and options that you can use to create vector images. The process may differ depending on what you’re trying to accomplish. Here are some options:

First, choose a file format you’re comfortable working with. A common format for vector images is SVG, but you can also create a PDF file if you’re creating a design for the web. Once you’ve found a format, you can then add or remove colors to your images.

In Illustrator, you can also convert a JPG image to a vector. Simply click on the file menu on the toolbar and choose “open.” In Windows, you can also use a quick key to open the “my computer” tab. Next, select the JPG file that you want to convert.
