How to Convert Handwriting to Vector (Signatures, Calligraphy & More)

Handwritten elements add a personal, authentic touch to designs. Learn how to convert your handwriting, signature, or calligraphy into scalable vector format.

Why Vectorize Handwriting?

• Create signature logos — Use your actual signature as a logo
• Preserve calligraphy — Scale beautiful lettering infinitely
• Personal branding — Unique, authentic brand elements
• Digital signatures — Professional document signing

Step 1: Capture Your Handwriting

For best results:

1. Write on plain white paper with a black pen
2. Use thick, bold strokes (fine lines don't vectorize well)
3. Scan at 300+ DPI or photograph in good lighting
4. Ensure high contrast between ink and paper

Step 2: Clean Up the Image

Before vectorizing:

• Increase contrast to make strokes darker
• Remove any background noise or shadows
• Crop tightly around the handwriting

Step 3: Vectorize

Upload your cleaned image to VectoSolve. The AI will trace the handwriting while preserving the natural flow and character of your writing.
