The conversion to creating documents that can be used in large or complicated graphics projects. A PNG image converted Vector format can become one or more layers in a multi-layered graphics project.

“The great file conversion from PNG to vector files is fueled by three motivations. The first is speed, we all need lightweight, high-quality image files to create high-performance software and web programs. The second is image quality, we need scalable images that don’t lose detail or pixelate when scaled. The third is projects. A PNG turned into a vector can be used as one (or many!) layers in a layered and active graphics vector project. This allows you constantly return and edit layer by layer and shape by shape.” By CoreIDraw
