What is the difference?
From this guide you will gain a better understanding of the difference in vector graphics compared to raster graphics and the importance when using a graphic for design purposes.
Raster Graphic Images
Rater graphic images are similar to photographs and are made up of dots of color known as pixels. When these images are enlarged these pixels are stretched to cover more area, lowering the overall quality of the graphic image. Typical file types include JPG, GIF, PNG, TIF.
Vector Graphic Images
Vector graphic images are made by creating mathematical equations to position points, lines, curves, and basic shapes relative to one another. Each time the graphic image is scaled in size the equations are recalculated. These are high quality graphic images and ideal. Typical file types include AI, CDR, EPS, PDF, and SVG.
