difference between bitmap and vector graphics

The biggest and most important difference is you can resize vector graphics without losing any quality, which makes them perfect for printing on different paper sizes from a leaflet to a billboard.

Bitmap and vector are two different ways to draw up computer graphics. Bitmap images are also known as raster images. The basic difference between bitmap and vector is that a bitmap image is made up of pixels, whereas a vector image is made up of paths.

A vector image uses geometrical formulas to represent images. The other way of representing graphical images is through bit-maps in which the image is made up of a pattern of dots (note that bit-maps are often referred to as raster graphics). Programs that allow you to create and manipulate vector graphics are called draw programs and programs that manipulate bit-map images are called paint programs.

Vector graphics are more flexible than bit-maps because they can be easily re-sized. In addition, images stored as vectors look better when displayed on high resolution printers and monitors. Bit-map images look the same, regardless of the resolution of the display. Another advantage of a vector graphic is that they often require less memory than bit-maps do.
