What is the difference between bitmap images and vector images?
Bitmap images (a.k.a. raster images) are made up of pixels (colored dots) in a grid. If you resize them, it will affect the image quality. Usually if you make the image bigger, it will decrease the image quality whereas when you make the image smaller, it will make the image quality better. Examples of bitmap images include scanned images and digital photos. Vector images are objects made up of lines and shapes. Unlike bitmap images, scaling vector images does not affect the quality. Although they are a smaller file size than bitmap images, they are not able to realistically represent photos as well as bitmap images. Examples of vector objects are fonts.
