VECTOR IMAGE

                 A vector image is a digital picture made using lines, curves, and shapes instead of tiny dots
                 (pixels). These shapes are created with math formulas, which help the image stay clear and

                 sharp even if you make it bigger or smaller.
                 Unlike normal pictures  (which  can get  blurry when zoomed  in), vector images  always  look
                 smooth. This makes them perfect for logos, posters, cartoons, and digital artwork.


                 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VECTOR AND RASTER GRAPHICS

                 Vector and raster graphics are two different types  of digital  images,  each used  for  specific
                 purposes. Below is a clear comparison:
