Transparency: Not supported

Best Use: Photographs, web graphics, email sharing

Pros: Small file size, universal compatibility, excellent for photos

Cons: Lossy compression, no vectors, no transparency

AI Format

Full Name: Adobe Illustrator

Type: Vector graphic format

Developed by: Adobe

Scalability: Infinitely scalable without quality loss

Transparency: Supported

Best Use: Logos, illustrations, print design, typography

Pros: Perfect scaling, editability, precise control, professional standard

Cons: Not ideal for complex photographs, requires specific software

When to Convert JPG to AI?

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the JPG to AI conversion?

The accuracy depends on the complexity of the original image. Simple logos, line art, and illustrations with clear edges convert very well. Photographs with gradients and complex details will be simplified into vector shapes that approximate the original. Our conversion uses advanced tracing algorithms to achieve the best possible results.

Will the AI file be fully editable?

Yes, the resulting AI file will contain editable vector paths. However, complex photographs will be converted into many vector shapes that approximate the original image. These can be edited but may require significant work to modify effectively. Simple images with clear shapes will result in more easily editable vectors.

What version of Adobe Illustrator is required to open the files?

Our converter creates AI files compatible with Adobe Illustrator CS6 and newer versions. The files can also be opened with other vector editing software that supports the AI format, such as CorelDRAW or Affinity Designer.

Can I convert photographs with lots of details?

Yes, but be aware that highly detailed photographs will result in complex vector files with numerous paths. The conversion works best for images with clear shapes, solid colors, and defined edges. For photographs, you can adjust the conversion settings to simplify the resulting vector image.

Is there a file size limit for conversion?

Yes, you can upload files up to 100MB each. For best results with vector conversion, we recommend using high-quality JPG images with clear lines and shapes. Note that very large or detailed images may result in complex AI files that are resource-intensive to edit.
