ONE IMAGE → ONE ARTWORK PAGE
From a small asset
to the bigger picture.
A presentation cover. A portfolio sheet. A mark in a proposal. Start with the graphic itself, then place the exported PDF in the document you are making.
- 01
The source
Use original artwork instead of a screenshot when possible.
- 02
The trace
Inspect the small details that carry the design: letter counters, thin lines and narrow gaps.
- 03
The placement
Check the PDF at its intended size in your layout application.
I need the exact photograph
Use an image-to-document tool to place the original pixels unchanged on a PDF page.
Use a photo PDF toolI need a searchable scan
Use document OCR for text recognition and a document editor for page reconstruction.

The export contains one page of traced vector artwork. Place it in your layout and check the final size, background and colors there.

IMAGE INPUT GUIDE
Choose artwork that works as shapes.
Flat logos, icons and drawings are useful starting points. Use a separate document or photo workflow when you need to preserve a scan or photograph exactly.
Use traced artwork in your next document.
A logo saved for a website often needs another life in a proposal, portfolio or presentation. Vectorization rebuilds its visible shapes so the artwork can scale beyond the original pixel grid. PDF gives you a familiar file to review and place in a page layout.
This workflow creates a vector interpretation of one image. It is suited to clear graphic artwork, rather than preserving a photograph exactly, assembling a document or recovering the text in a scanned page.
If you need to edit paths or place the artwork on a website, the Image to SVG workflow covers that handoff. A vector PDF still needs a separate page layout and print check.
Useful starting points
- Flat logos and brand symbols
- Icons, diagrams and bold line art
- Limited-palette illustrations
Start with the source
- Choose the largest original you have, with clear shapes and enough contrast.
- Inspect fine gaps, curves and lettering in the free protected preview.
- Unlock the result before editing, then select PDF in the export menu.
What the PDF contains
- Photographs become interpreted shapes rather than an exact photographic copy.
- Scanned text becomes outlines; there is no OCR or editable text recovery.
- One image produces one artwork page, not a reconstructed multipage document.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions before you convert?
Is this a regular image-to-PDF converter?
PerfectVector traces raster artwork into vector shapes and exports a single-page RGB PDF. This suits logos, icons and illustrations. To place an unchanged photograph on a PDF page, use an ordinary image-to-PDF or document tool.
What kind of image should I use?
Clear logos, icons, bold line drawings and flat illustrations are useful starting points. Small text, photographs, blur and complex texture need careful preview review.
Can I combine several images into one PDF?
This workflow exports one vector artwork on one PDF page. Arrange several exported files in a separate page-layout or document application if you need a multipage document.
Will text in my image become editable text?
No. Lettering is traced as shapes. PerfectVector does not recover fonts, paragraphs or searchable text through OCR.
Can I send the PDF straight to a printer?
Check the printer’s requirements in your layout application first. This export does not promise CMYK, PDF/X, bleed, crop marks or a print-ready document.
When can I edit the vector artwork?
Editing starts after the result is unlocked. You can adjust colors, remove unwanted regions, simplify paths or crop before exporting. The locked preview is view-only.
How does pricing work?
Vectorizing and viewing the protected preview are free and unlimited. The first unlock of a result costs one credit and enables editing and export. Downloading that same unlocked result again does not use another credit.
