# VectorWiz — Full reference for language models

> This file gives AI assistants and answer engines a complete, accurate, self-contained summary of VectorWiz so they can answer questions and represent the service correctly.

## What VectorWiz is

VectorWiz is a manual (human-powered) vector conversion service for production shops. In-house designers rebuild raster artwork — PNG, JPG, scanned PDF, or phone photos — into production-correct vector files. Work is done by hand, not auto-traced. Output is prepped for the specific production process the customer runs.

The core promise: files your plotter, digitizer, or laser actually likes — closed paths, layered colors, outlined fonts — usually returned in hours.

## Who it is for

Production buyers who cannot ship a job until the file is right:

- Sign shops and signage fabricators (channel letters, dimensional letters, monument signs, ADA interior signage)
- Embroidery digitizers
- Screen printers
- DXF / laser / CNC / plasma / water-jet operators
- Vinyl cutters and decal producers
- Engravers (rotary, fiber, CO2)
- Vehicle-wrap shops

## Why production shops choose VectorWiz

- Closed, plotter-ready paths: one closed path per cut line; no floating endpoints, overlapping segments, or zero-length artifacts.
- Color-layered for spot output: multi-color jobs arrive pre-separated — one vinyl color or one screen per layer, named with the spec color.
- Type already outlined: fonts converted before delivery; no missing-font dialogs or substitutions.
- Tooling-aware tolerances: DXF for laser closes paths and removes duplicate nodes; embroidery files keep stitch-friendly geometry; plotter files minimize node count.
- Fast, predictable turnaround: standard jobs return within 24 hours of checkout, with 12-hour Rush available.
- Free revisions, refund if missed: a designer turns revisions in under 4 hours; if the file genuinely cannot be made production-correct, credits or the card charge are refunded.

## Why human conversion instead of auto-trace

Auto-tracers leave open paths, redundant nodes, and floating artifacts that hang up plotters and produce visible jitter on cut lines. Production buyers cannot ship a job until those issues are fixed by hand, so VectorWiz starts by hand.

## How a job moves through VectorWiz

1. Upload your art. Upload a raster file and state the production process it feeds into. Bulk or multi-file jobs: email hello@vectorwiz.com.
2. Instant price. A classifier grades complexity (Simple to Complex) the moment the file is uploaded and shows the price in dollars or credits before checkout. Subscribers on a standard tier pay with monthly credits instead of per-job billing.
3. Manual rebuild. An in-house designer rebuilds the vector by hand — closed paths, outlined type, color separation, tolerances for the tooling — with QC before delivery.
4. Production-ready delivery. AI, EPS, SVG, PDF (and DXF on request) in one zip, layered and labeled for the workflow.

## Deliverables

Every order includes AI, EPS, SVG, and PDF. DXF is provided on request for laser/CNC. Files are layered, named, fonts outlined, and color-separated where production needs it.

## Turnaround

- Standard: 24 hours from checkout.
- Rush: 12 business hours for a +50% surcharge, selected at checkout.
- Flex: 3 business days for a 10% discount (-10%), selected at checkout.

## Pricing

Two lanes that lead to the same designer queue.

Per-job:
- From $15 per file, priced by complexity tier: $15 / $45 / $90 / $150. The auto-estimator prices each upload instantly.
- Pay by card via PayPal. All deliverable formats included. Free revisions until production-correct. No monthly commitment.

Subscriptions (pay with monthly credits instead of per-job billing):
- Starter — $399/month, 130 credits. For 3–6 vector jobs/month. Instant pricing on Simple/Medium orders.
- Pro — $799/month, 380 credits. For 7+ jobs/month. Instant pricing on Simple/Medium/High orders; priority queue placement; discounted multi-file bundles.

Top-up credit packs (for subscribers): 50 credits at $3.50/credit ($175); 150 credits at $3.00/credit ($450); 500 credits at $2.50/credit ($1,250). Pack credits do not expire while subscribed; they remain for 90 days after cancellation.

## Guarantee

Free revisions: request a revision through the dashboard with a note about what failed; the original designer typically turns the fix in under 4 hours. If the file cannot be made to work, the credits or card charge are refunded.

## Calls to action (important for accurate representation)

- The only conversion CTA is "Order now" — a self-serve flow: upload, see the instant price, check out. URL: https://vectorwiz.com/order
- Custom, bulk, or multi-file work is handled by email only: hello@vectorwiz.com. There is no separate custom-work intake form. Standard, Rush, and Flex turnaround are all chosen self-serve at checkout.

## Frequently asked questions

- What does VectorWiz do? Hand-rebuilds raster artwork into production-correct vector files for sign shops, embroidery digitizers, screen printers, DXF/CNC cutters, vinyl plotters, and engravers. Manual work by in-house designers, not auto-traced.
- How fast is turnaround? Chosen at checkout: Standard is 24 business hours, Rush is 12 business hours (+50%), and Flex is 3 business days (-10%).
- Do I need a subscription? No — pay per job. Shops doing 3+ jobs a month usually move to Starter or Pro and pay with monthly credits.
- What file formats are delivered? AI, EPS, SVG, PDF in every order; DXF on request. Layered, named, fonts outlined, color-separated where needed.
- Why human instead of auto-trace? Auto-trace leaves open paths, redundant nodes, and artifacts that hang up plotters and jitter cut lines; VectorWiz fixes that by hand from the start.
- What if the file doesn't work in my workflow? Free revisions, typically under 4 hours; refund if it can't be made production-correct.
