Damaged Image to Vector Conversion for Torn & Faded Artwork
Damaged image to vector conversion rebuilds artwork that has been torn, creased, water-stained, faded or partly cut off, and returns it as a clean, complete vector file. Businesses bring us worn logos, old banners and poster art that no longer exist in digital form, and an artist reconstructs the missing pieces by hand, from $7 per image.
- Tears, creases and stains left out of the new artwork
- Missing corners and cut-off edges reconstructed
- Faded colors restored from your reference
- Usually done in 24 hours; rush in 6
What Is Damaged Image to Vector Conversion?
Physical damage hides parts of a design: a fold runs through a letter, a stain covers a border, a corner is torn away. Conversion separates the design from the damage. An artist redraws what is intact, rebuilds what is missing using symmetry, repeated elements and any reference you send, and delivers artwork that looks the way it did when it was new.
- Symmetrical shapes completed from the surviving half
- Repeated patterns and borders continued accurately
- Uncertain areas discussed with you before drawing

Damaged artwork is one branch of our image to vector conversion service. Worn company marks are also covered by vector logo conversion. If your piece is mainly old rather than broken and you want to keep its period look, see vintage artwork conversion.
Why Clients Trust Us With Fragile Originals
Damage removed, design kept
We draw only the artwork itself, so creases, spots and tears never make it into the finished file.
Careful reconstruction
Missing areas are rebuilt from symmetry, repetition and your references, and anything uncertain is raised before we start.
Colors brought back
Faded inks are matched to a reference, Pantone code or brand guide you supply, or to the strongest surviving area.

Damaged Image to Vector Conversion Questions
What is damaged image to vector conversion?
It means redrawing a torn, stained, faded or partly missing image as new vector artwork. The artist recreates the design rather than repairing pixels, so creases and marks disappear, missing sections are reconstructed, and the finished file can be reprinted cleanly at any size.
How much does damaged image to vector conversion cost?
Prices start at $7 per image for a simple design with light damage. More missing material, heavy staining or intricate detail adds drawing time and raises the price. You receive an exact quote by email after we review the image, and work begins once you pay.
Can you rebuild parts of the image that are completely missing?
Often, yes. Symmetrical designs, repeated borders and standard lettering can be reconstructed with confidence. For unique details, such as a hand-drawn emblem with a torn center, we need another photo, a printed sample or a description. The quote spells out what we can recreate.
Is this the same as photo restoration?
No. Photo restoration repairs a photograph and keeps it as a pixel image. This service redraws a design, such as a logo, banner or poster graphic, as vector paths. For family photographs, our photo restoration team is the right choice; for designs you need to print again, vector conversion is.
Can you change the design while rebuilding it?
Yes. Once the artwork is reconstructed, we can update colors, replace an outdated phone number or year, modernize a shape or remove an element you no longer use. Mention the changes when you upload, so they are included in the quote and timeline.
Which files come back to me, and who owns them?
You get AI, EPS, SVG, PDF and PNG versions of the rebuilt artwork. Full ownership of the final files is transferred to you on request after payment. Every order includes two free revisions and is covered by our 100% money-back guarantee.
