Rasterize vector layers in Pixelmator Pro on iPad
Vector layers include shapes, text, and Pen tool illustrations. Vector graphics are infinitely scalable with no loss in resolution. A raster layer is any type of layer that consists of pixels—images, masks, paintings, and photos. So, when you paint or edit images, you’re working with raster layers.
In Pixelmator Pro, a composition can contain both raster and vector layers. However, you can’t use pixel-based raster tools (the Repair, Clone, Retouching, and Paint tools, for example) on a vector layer without first converting the vector layer to a raster layer.
In Pixelmator Pro on iPad, go to the Layers sidebar.
Touch and hold a layer, then choose Convert to Pixels.
Note: When you merge a vector layer with a raster layer the merged layer is automatically rasterized.
