A vector file is a type of graphic that uses mathematical formulas instead of pixel data, allowing for infinite scalability without loss of quality.

Textile & Fabric Printing β Perfect for seamless patterns and high-quality prints. Logos & Branding β Ensures sharpness at any scale. Large Format Printing β Billboards, posters, and signage require vector-based graphics. For more details, check out Adobeβs Guide on Vector Files. π
A layered PSD file is an Adobe Photoshop Document (PSD) where the artwork is structured on separate layers.
