Vector Graphics

Vector graphics, or vector images, are created using mathematical equations to define lines, shapes, and curves. They can be scaled infinitely without losing quality, making them ideal for graphic design projects that require frequent resizing, such as logos, icons, and illustrations.

Not to be confused with

Raster Image

A raster image is a type of graphic made up of tiny pixels.

Visual Design

Is a field that uses color, images, typography, and other elements in the design work.

Difference between Bitmap and Vector Graphics

Vector graphics can enhance your visuals as they don’t get pixelated when resized. These images are made of geometric shapes, lines, and curves, maintaining their sharpness and clarity. However, bitmap graphics get pixelated when resized as they are less flexible for larger scaling. They are made up of tiny dots called pixels, which create the image and are resolution-dependent.
