vectorizes

Converts to arrays

Vectorizes means to convert into vector form.

In computing, it typically refers to optimizing code so that operations apply to entire arrays at once rather than looping through elements individually: Vectorizing the loop improved performance tenfold.

In graphics, to vectorize is to convert a raster image into scalable vector format, replacing pixels with mathematical curves and lines.
