A vector file is a type of graphic that can be scaled to any size without losing quality. Unlike raster images (JPGs or PNGs), which can become blurry or pixelated when enlarged, vectors remain sharp at any resolution. On Storyblocks, vectors are offered in EPS and PDF formats.
How to edit vector files
To fully work with and edit a vector file, you’ll need vector editing software, such as:
Adobe Illustrator
CorelDRAW
Affinity Designer
Free alternative: Inkscape (open-source vector editor)
Vectors are most commonly used for logos, icons, illustrations, and designs that need to be resized frequently — like across print, web, and video projects.
