How To Convert a PNG To Vector with Illustrator

Hey everyone in this video, I wanted to show you how you could take a PNG file. Like the one I have here and turn it into a Viktor file using Adobe Illustrator and with a Viktor file. Basically, you could scale this image to be any size without losing any quality. So with a PNG is limited to the quality of the file and a vector size won't have that issue.

So let's take this PNG file. Make sure you have the PNG file first and then go ahead and open it with Adobe illustrator. I'm using CC 2018 here, but if you're using a later or earlier, versions are still the same process. So here's the logo. The PNG file is opened here and it will work with logos, with text, and with shapes as I have here, but it has to be really clean.

Like this restaurant raised images. It can't be like a painting, for example. So let's take this image. The first thing we want to do is we want to go up to windows and then we want to come down to image trace. So look for image, trace, and then click that and then you will get this window here and through here, the only thing you'll need to change is the mode.

So in this case, I don't even have to do that since I got a black and white logo here. But make sure you choose a color. If you have a color logo and that's all we have to change, go ahead and press trace. And this is going to take a few seconds depending on your image and then you just have one more step, go to the object and then come down to image, trace, and then click expand, and just like that your logo has been changed to a Victor shape. So you'll see all these dots that I have here. So now if I de-select here and select individual elements, I could basically move individual elements. I could reshape those elements and things that I couldn't do before with a PNG file and once I'm all set, let me go ahead and put this back here.

I could go ahead and go to file save as, and I could save this as an AI Adobe illustrator file or an EPS file. Those are both vector files and just like that, you'll have a vector file of your logo. I hope you found this useful. Please give this a like and subscribe to this channel.
