How To: Convert Font to Vector Outline in Illustrator

Clients are welcome to create and submit their own designs or logos.

All fonts in the design or logo will need to be converted to a vector outline before Lyfe Pix can use the design or logo.

Make sure all fonts are converted to a vector outline using the Create Outline tool in Adobe Illustrator or similar functions in other graphics software.  This should be done before you send any design or logos to Lyfe Pix.

Fonts that are not converted to an outline may not come out correctly in the final design.  They might even be substituted with another font automatically by our system.  It is important to covert all fonts to a vector outline to prevent this from happening.
