Someone help. I dont understand how to convert my image into Vector format. I followed the steps google said to and the graphic design team still says the document is not Vector format. I'm trying to avoid a fee here so if someone can dumb it down for me I would GREATLY appreciate it! :)
There are 2 ways to convert a raster image to vector. And it depends on the image, which way is the best. If the image is appropriate, you can use Inkscape's Trace Bitmap, and the image is automatically converted to vector paths. If the image is not appropriate, you would have to use Inkscape's Pen tool and trace it "by hand".
We would need to see the image, to know if it's appropriate for auto-tracing. And also it would help to know what your purpose is for converting it. Are you going to cut it out, for example or etch or engrave? Or print a tshirt or other fabric? Or whatever it is, it would help us to know.

You have to save as something they recognize is Vector. There are some options for Vector in Inkscape. You can save as... [pdf | plain svg | inkscape svg ]. I think if you were to send both a PDF and a Plain SVG (not the standard Inkscape SVG), you should be OK. Not many other software programs will recognize Inkscape SVG.
