Vector or more accurately vector graphics are a number of geometrical shapes and lines that are used to produce computer graphics. It compares to raster graphics which are images that are created from a number of pixels that display a photographic image. In practice both are used to achieve slightly different results, in some cases the two can be developed to generate astounding effects.


JPEG images are photographic images that are created by utilizing a form of lossy compression. This type of image can be adjusted to create higher or lower resolutions depending on the type of compression that is utilized.The JPEG format is popular on the internet and is a common format in photographic image capture devices.

It is possible to convert JPEG to Vector using one of the many programs available online. The price range normally typifies the kind of program you will get with the more high end programs being truer to colour and other details. However, there are cheap and free software that may be utilized to convert between the two file formats. For this specific tutorial Inkscape will be utilized to convert from JPEG to Vector.
