When you save an illustrator file as a vector file, the file will be in a different format than the original illustrator file. The vector format is more efficient for storing and manipulating data, and it can be used to create more complex illustrations. To save an illustrator file as a vector file, follow these steps:

  1. Open the illustrator program and click on the File menu. This will open the File menu in a new window.
  2. In the File menu, select Save As… and then select Vector from the drop-down list. The Save As dialog box will appear.
  3. In the Save As dialog box, enter a name for your vector illustration and click on OK. The illustration will be saved as a vector file.
