Vector & Bitmaps

Bitmap Image

Bitmap Images are made up of tiny dots called pixels which all up make up the image. Therefore if you make a Bitmap Image bigger you will just make the dots bigger aswell losing the quality of the image. Bitmaps are larger files, due to the fact they are made of dots.

Difference Between Bitmap and Vector

Vector

Vector images are made up of different individual objects, these are made up of mathematical equations, so you never lose any quality, rather than being madee of pixels, Vector graphics are made up of points, lines, and curves which, when combined, can be much more complex.
