What is the main difference between vector and bitmap products?
Vector files are files you can resize, scale, and even change colors or fonts of, without losing any quality or resolution. Professional designers or print shops mostly use vector files. Bitmap files files are more static and more popular, and usually the best to use on the Web. You may find them mostly in text applications such as Microsoft Word. They are small, but hard to modify because of their poor resolution. A bitmapped image is built from individual cells called pixels, which are set to a grid like a mosaic. Most digital photographs and screen captures are bitmap images. A bitmapped image cannot be resized without loss of quality. Resizing GIF, TIF, BMP, PCX bitmapped formats will result in image degradation.
