Can Canva Create Vector Files?

What is a vector file

A vector file is a type of graphic file that uses mathematical algorithms to allow the image to be scaled or resized without losing any quality. Vector files are typically created in Adobe Illustrator or another vector editing program, and they have the file extension .ai or .eps.

Why use a vector file

There are many reasons why you might want to use a vector file instead of a raster graphic. Vector files are usually smaller in file size, which can be important when working with web graphics or sending files via email.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great tool for creating simple designs, but it cannot create vector files. If you need a vector file for printing or other professional uses, you will need to use another program such as Adobe Illustrator.

They can also be edited more easily than raster graphics, so if you need to make changes to an image (such as changing the color), a vector file will be easier to work with. Finally, vector files can be scaled without losing any quality, so they’re perfect for print projects where you need the image to be a specific size.

Can Canva create vector files

Yes! Canva can export your designs as PDFs, and PDFs can be saved as vector files.

To do this, simply click on the File menu and select Export As. Then choose PDF from the drop-down menu and make sure the High Quality option is selected. Once you’ve done that, your design will be saved as a PDF, which can then be opened in Adobe Illustrator or another vector editing program and saved as a vector file.
