Vector Shapes:
Vector shapes are incredibly handy, because they can be resized to suit any purpose without losing quality.

First, let’s draw our shape. I’m going to use the pen tool to do this and, using grid lines as my guide, I’m going to create a shape that is a sort of circle and square juxtaposed on top of one another (a.k.a. a squircle), like so:

I’m going to complete the shape, then use the path selection tool and drag over the entire shape to select all of the endpoints.

Then go to Edit - Define Custom Shape and give the new shape a name and click “OK.” Once again, save your shapes by selecting the “Save Shapes” option in the Shapes palette menu.

Now you can use your custom shape to create vector squircles whenever you like!
