Vectorvsraster

Vector images are made of mathematically drawn figures and paths rather than pixels, allowing them to be resolution independent and scalable. They are used for illustrations, charts, and 3D applications. Raster images are composed of pixels like photographs and tend to be larger files that are more vivid but cannot be scaled up without loss of quality. Both file types have advantages and disadvantages depending on the intended use and needed file size or image quality.

Vector vs.

Raster
Vector Images

Raster Images

More of a pixel type look, used more in


games

More Clear and solid

More Zigzaged,not solid straight lines

Straightened out lines

Made of mathematically drawn figures

Photographs are made with raster

Used 3D applications

Great amounts of detail could be shown

Used TrueType fonts

Created by small pixels

Used Charts and graphs in spreadsheet


programs

Tend to take up more space in (kb,mb,gb)

Used Illustration/drawing programs

Creates a lossy image

made up of key points and paths

Downloadable threw a Jpg file extension

Can be placed over other objects

The Size/Quality Ratio is okay

resolution independent therefore scalable

Smaller than Vector

Pros
Not restricted to a rectangular
shape like bitmaps
small because they contain a
lot less data
graphics are flexible

Pros
vivid colors
Supported by all
cameras,editing softwares ext.
fantastic when handling
shading and gradients.

Cons
Does not have any
background
small errors
cant display the lush color
depth

Cons
Has to store more pixels can
result in large files
Difficult to edit
cannot be scaled up in size
very well
