ILLUSTRATIVE SUPPLIER-HANDOFF SCENARIO

THE DESIGN IS ALREADY APPROVED

Your design is ready. The file needs work.

You already approved the initials, emblem, or company mark. The remaining problem is the file: you have a raster image, and the artwork request asks for vectors. Prepare the logo first, then let the supplier handle the physical gobo and projection setup.

CHECK THE SUPPLIER BRIEF

Why your supplier asks for vector artwork.

GoboSource requires vector format for line art, and both references list SVG among accepted vector formats. Photographic or grayscale artwork may need a high-resolution raster source instead, so check the brief for the specific gobo.

These sources explain their own artwork and manufacturing requirements. They do not evaluate or endorse PerfectVector. Confirm the file format and construction rules with the supplier making your gobo.

THE ARTWORK FILE

Compare the raster with the actual SVG.

THREE DIFFERENT ARTIFACTS

Artwork first. Production decisions follow.

The raster image, physical gobo, and projected light are related, but they are not the same deliverable. Knowing who owns each step makes the handoff clearer.
  1. 01
    YOU + PERFECTVECTOR

    Prepare the artwork file

    Start with the clearest flat raster you can use. Convert it, compare the preview with the source, and keep the SVG only when the shapes suit the approved mark.

  2. 02
    YOUR GOBO SUPPLIER

    Build the physical gobo

    The supplier checks its accepted format, adds any material-specific bridges or adjustments, and sizes the artwork for the selected fixture.

  3. 03
    THE VENUE OR LIGHTING TEAM

    Set up the projection

    Fixture choice, focus, throw distance, surface, brightness, and placement determine how the finished projection appears in the room.

An SVG improves the artwork handoff. It does not specify the physical gobo or predict the final projection in a particular venue.

A PRACTICAL FILE HANDOFF

Send artwork the supplier can review.

Keep the approved design recognizable while leaving the production decisions to the people making the gobo.Do not judge the physical result from a screen mockup. Review the supplier's proof or artwork confirmation before production.
SUPPLIER-HANDOFF CHECKLIST
  1. 01

    Upload the flat original

    Use the largest genuine artwork file available. Leave out venue photos, projected-light photos, paper texture, and unrelated layout elements.

  2. 02

    Inspect the vector preview

    Compare the free preview with the original. Check letter counters, narrow gaps, thin outlines, and small decorative shapes before unlocking the result.

  3. 03

    Keep editable text separate when possible

    Vectorization traces visible letters as shapes. If a name or date may change, typeset it separately in the design file before the final supplier export.

  4. 04

    Ask for the exact production brief

    Confirm the requested format, fixture or gobo size, color or grayscale method, and any minimum-feature rules. Let the supplier add construction changes such as metal bridges.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT SOURCE

Clear marks are easier to evaluate.

Vectorization is useful when the design is already visible as distinct shapes. Some gobo artwork belongs in another workflow.

Try logos, monograms, and bold emblems

High-contrast artwork with clear shapes gives you edges and open areas you can compare directly with the source.

Review fine decoration and enclosed shapes

Thin flourishes, small type, and narrow holes may need changes for the physical gobo. The supplier should make that call for its material and fixture.

Keep photographic artwork as raster when required

A grayscale portrait or soft photographic design may need a high-resolution raster file instead of line-art vectorization. Follow the supplier's artwork guidelines.

Use artwork you own or have permission to adapt. Vectorization does not grant rights to a logo, typeface, monogram, or illustration.

Before you pick a plan

You're in good company.

I'd tried everything and been let down every time — I'd given up, figuring today's tech just couldn't do this. And you actually built it. If this is real, it's genuinely incredible.

It converts at even better quality than I expected — it preserves the character of the original better than anything else I've tried.
imbee••••via Threads
PerfectVector is impressively fast, and the output quality is already very good. With a bit more refinement it could easily compete with the leading tools.
InPixelSt••••design studiovia email
Way more detailed than I expected. Opening Illustrator to convert every single time was such a chore — bookmarked.

Tried it — it's accurate. Simple images actually expose detail differences more than complex ones do, and this nails them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions before you convert?

Can I convert a PNG logo into SVG for a gobo?+
Yes. Upload a clear, flat image of the logo, monogram, or emblem and compare the SVG preview with the source. Your supplier may accept SVG directly or ask you to export another vector format.
Do gobo suppliers require vector artwork?+
Requirements vary. GoboSource says vector files are required for line art and typical illustrations, while grayscale pictures need a high-resolution raster image. Machine Artist accepts SVG and other vector formats as well as high-resolution raster files. Check your supplier's current instructions for the specific gobo.
Will my gobo supplier accept SVG directly?+
Some suppliers list SVG among accepted vector formats, but others may request AI, EPS, or PDF. Use the SVG as an editable artwork asset, then prepare the requested export in your design application.
Does the SVG become a finished physical gobo?+
No. PerfectVector converts the image into SVG paths. The supplier still handles the physical gobo, material, sizing, any artwork modifications, and the projection setup.
What are bridges in a metal gobo?+
Machine Artist explains that metal gobos need small bridges to hold enclosed shapes in place, such as the center of the letter O. Your supplier should decide and add the bridges required for its manufacturing process.
Should I upload a photo of the projected logo?+
Use the original flat artwork when possible. A venue photo includes perspective, wall texture, shadows, and lighting. Vectorizing those pixels will not recover the original logo geometry.
Is a photograph suitable for gobo vectorization?+
A bold line-art treatment may be suitable for conversion, but a photographic or grayscale gobo may need a high-resolution raster file instead. Ask the supplier which artwork type fits the intended gobo.
Can I use a wedding monogram or company logo?+
You can convert artwork you own or have permission to use. Conversion does not grant permission to use a logo, typeface, illustration, or monogram design owned by someone else.
How much does vectorization cost?+
Vectorizing and preview are always free and unlimited — you only spend a credit when you download a finished file.
