Raster and Vector Images

Raster and vector images are fundamental types of digital images, each with distinct structures and uses. Raster images are made up of a grid of tiny pixels, giving them a detailed, realistic quality but limiting their scalability. Examples include JPEGs, PNGs, and BMPs. In contrast, vector images use mathematical equations and geometric shapes, like lines and curves, to represent images. Vector formats such as SVG and AI provide scalability without quality loss, making them ideal for logos, icons, and illustrations.
