How it works

Three steps from blurry to crisp

AI has taken over plenty of tasks, but clean vectorizing still isn’t one of them. Auto-trace and AI tools leave lumpy curves, extra points and muddy colors. Every VectorMaid file is redrawn by hand, so it cuts, prints and stitches right the first time.

FAQ

Questions shops ask

Why not just use auto-trace?

Auto-trace leaves lumpy curves, stray points and muddy colors. Every VectorMaid file is redrawn by hand.

Why not just use an AI vectorizer?

Try one! For a quick mockup, it might be all you need. For a sign, shirt or embroidery job, though, you need clean curves, minimal points and exact colors, and that’s still a job for human hands.

What files do I get back?

You’ll get an AI and a PDF file. Need an EPS or SVG instead? Just ask.

How fast is turnaround?

Most files are back by the next business day. Complex files get a quoted turnaround up front.

What if I need changes?

Most jobs never need revisions, but if something needs tightening up, we’ll take care of it. Changes that alter the original design after vectorization are billed hourly (this is rare).

Do you work white-label for print shops?

Yes. We work behind the scenes for print shops. Files come with no VectorMaid branding, so you can deliver them to your customers as your own.
