Vector File Size and Formats


A vector image is nice because it is a very small file. Since nothing deals with pixels and only mathematical descriptions they are able to become small by only changing one number. A 2 inch by 4 inch vector based logo would be the same file size as a 2 foot by 4 foot logo. Most vector based logos will be under .10 megabytes, this making them ideally suited for transfer over the internet.

Formats that are commonly used for vector images are EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), WMF (Windows Metafile), CDR (CorelDraw), PLT (Hewlett Packard Language Plot File), SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic), DXF (AutoCAD), and AL (Adobe Illustrator).
