What are the differences between raster bitmaps and vector graphics? In this tutorial, I'll explain the differences and point out their strengths and weaknesses. Using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, I'll give the pros and cons of raster bitmaps vs vector graphics.

Raster graphics are made of pixels, and vector graphics are made of lines, shapes, and curves comprised of mathematical equations.

Raster graphics lose clarity as they scale, called pixelation. Vector graphics can scale to any size without losing clarity or quality.

Photographs are best left as raster images because they don't translate as well into vector art, unless cartoonlike effects are desired.
