    Vector graphics are also known as scalable vector graphics (SVG).

    These graphics
    consist of anchored dots and connected by lines and curves, similar to the connect-the-
    dot activities you may have done as a kid. Because these graphics are not based on
    pixels, they are known as resolution independent, which makes them infinitely
    scalable. Their lines are sharp, without any loss in quality or detail, no matter what
    their size. These graphics are also device-independent, which means their quality
    doesn't depend on the number of dots available on a printer or the number of pixels on
    a screen. Because they consist of lines and anchor points, the size of the files are
    relatively small.

    Raster images are made of pixels, or tiny dots that use color and tone to produce the
    image. Pixels appear like little squares on graph paper when the image is zoomed in or
    enlarged. These images are created by digital cameras, by scanning images into a
    computer or with raster-based software. Each image can only contain a fixed number of
    pixels; the amount of pixels determines the quality of the image. This is known as
    resolution. More pixels results in better quality at the same or larger sizes of the
    original, but this also increases the size of the file and the amount of space it takes to
    store the file. The lower the number of pixels, the lower the resolution. Resolution
    limits the size the image can be scaled up without being able to see pixels. However, a
    high resolution image printed at a small size will cause the pixels to "cram" together
    and will make the image look as unprofessional as not having enough pixels in a large
    image.

    2. Raster prefers graphic formats like Vector uses graphic formats like EPS,
    GIF, JPEG,PNG and PCX, etc. WMF, TrueType, PICT etc.

    3. Raster are not that scalable. Vectors are scalable to any size.
