Vector graphics are digital images defined by mathematical paths (lines and curves) rather than pixels, allowing for infinite scaling without quality loss. Ideal for logos and illustrations, they offer crisp edges, small file sizes, and easy editing, though they cannot easily replicate complex, photographic, painterly styles.
Raster graphics are digital images defined as a grid or matrix of colored pixels (dots) arranged in rows and columns. They are ideal for complex images like photographs, offering rich detail and color depth. Key disadvantages include limited resolution, pixelation (loss of quality) when resized, and large file sizes.
