Vector Graphics - Scalable Print Ready Artwork
Vector graphics are special in that they are not made out of pixels. Vectorizing something is essentially taking a drawing, bitmap or pixelated image and tracing it to have smooth lines.
Vector graphics use math to map out designs on a coordinate plane. This artwork is created by individual shapes and paths rather than pixels.
This type of artwork can be scaled to any size without sacrificing image quality. Common vector file formats are .svg, .ai, .eps, By nature a true Illustrator (.ai) file is a vector file as well.
Raster (or bitmap) graphics:
Raster images are images composed of pixels. Raster graphics have limitations because files can only be made with a fixed number of pixels. They are typically untraceable because they contain no hard lines or shapes. This type of artwork is commonly made from gradients and images. These files can be found as file formats such as .jpg, .png, .gif, .bmp and .tiff.
*Important Note:
Vector images can be flattened into a raster image (pixels) easily. Once any vector image or text is saved as a png, it becomes a raster image. Some raster images can be vectorized or traced depending on the art. High resolution artwork with hard lines works best for tracing.
