Vector Graphics in PDF Exports

If you've ever included a logo in a generated PDF and seen it come out blurry or pixelated, you've experienced the raster image problem. Images stored as pixel grids look fine at screen resolution, but printing or zooming reveals the limitations.

Vector graphics in PDF exports solve this permanently.

How Raster vs. Vector Works

A raster image (JPEG, PNG) stores pixels. At the resolution it was saved, it looks fine. Larger than that, and you're stretching pixels — the result is blur.

A vector graphic stores shapes described mathematically — curves, lines, fills defined by coordinates rather than pixels. Scale it to any size and the shapes are redrawn precisely. A vector logo looks identical at business card size and on a billboard.

What This Means for Your Documents

When you upload an SVG logo to your workspace and it appears in generated PDFs, it now renders as a vector. Print the PDF at any resolution — the logo is crisp.

For diagrams, charts, and icons that are also vector format, the same applies. Every graphic that can be kept as a vector is kept as one through the entire generation pipeline.

Logos Are the Primary Use Case

Most businesses have a vector version of their logo (typically an SVG or AI file). If the logo was previously looking soft in generated invoices, proposals, or reports — upload the vector version and the problem disappears.

The platform handles the conversion and embedding correctly in the generated PDF. No extra steps.

Why It Took This Long

Vector handling in PDF generation is genuinely complex. The PDF format supports vector graphics, but ensuring the full pipeline — editor to template to generated document — preserves vector fidelity required rebuilding parts of the generation process.

It was worth doing. Document quality reflects on your business. Crisp, professional documents are now the default for every workspace.
