What we vectorize for you
From a few words to a complete graffiti mural: as long as there are letters in it, we redraw them for you.
- Custom lettering and hand-drawn letters
- Graffiti and street art
- Signatures
- Text in a font from a photo or scan
- Handwritten text and calligraphy
- Existing lettering on shopfronts, signs or vehicles
Why not vectorize letters automatically?
Automatic tracers and online converters seem convenient, but with letters things quickly go wrong. Sharp corners turn round, thin strokes and serifs disappear and curves become angular or lumpy. On a business card you might not notice, but on a shopfront, a vehicle wrap or an engraved plaque you certainly will.
That is why we redraw every letter by hand. Straight lines become truly straight, curves flow smoothly and the distinctive shape of your lettering or signature is preserved exactly. You receive the letters as vector paths (outlines), so you don't need a font to open, print or cut the file.
What can you use vectorized lettering for?
Shopfront and vehicle lettering
Clean vector paths are essential for cutting letters from vinyl for shopfronts, windows and vehicles.
CNC, laser cutting and routing
Cutting or routing letters from wood, metal or plastic requires clean, closed shapes.
Engraving
Engrave a signature or text into jewellery, glass, wood or metal, razor-sharp at any size.
Clothing and merchandise
Lettering or graffiti on T-shirts, hoodies, caps and bags, ready for printing or embroidery.
Print and signage
From business card to banner: your letters stay sharp, however large you make them.
Your own signature as a logo
Use your signature as a personal logo on your website, in your email or on your products.
Already have the font?
If the font is installed on your computer, you can convert the text to outlines yourself in Illustrator or Inkscape. Only have a photo, scan or image of the letters, or is it custom lettering, graffiti or a signature? Then we redraw it for you by hand.
Custom pricing
Every piece of lettering is different. A short text or a signature takes less work than a full graffiti piece packed with detail. That is why we work with custom pricing. Send us your file and you get a no-obligation price estimate and delivery time up front. We only start once you approve.
Frequently asked questions
How does lettering vectorization work?
You send us a photo, scan or file of the letters. We email you a no-obligation price estimate up front. Once you approve, a designer redraws every letter by hand as vector paths and you receive the files by email.
Can you work from a photo or scan of text?
Yes. The sharper the photo, the better. Photograph the text as straight-on as possible, in good light and without shadows. If part of it is illegible, we agree with you up front on how to fill it in.
Do I need to know which font it is?
No. If we recognise the font, we can use it as a basis. If it is custom lettering or an unknown font, we redraw every letter by hand.
Can you vectorize a signature or handwriting?
Yes. We keep the distinctive shape of your signature or handwriting, but make the lines clean and even, so it looks polished at any size.
Do you also vectorize graffiti?
Yes, from a simple tag to a complete piece with colours, outlines and effects. With lots of detail and colour gradients, we agree with you up front on how best to work them out in vector.
Which files will I receive?
You receive AI, EPS, PDF and SVG, plus a JPG and a transparent PNG. The letters are converted to vector paths, so you don't need a font to open or use the files. Another format, such as DXF for CNC, is available on request.
Do you also create an installable font?
No. We redraw the letters as vector paths in a file, not as a font (OTF or TTF) that you can install and type with.
Your lettering as a razor-sharp vector file
Whether it is custom lettering, graffiti, your signature or text from an old photo, we redraw your letters by hand as clean vector paths. Send us your file and you get a no-obligation price estimate up front.
