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:
