Image for Vector graphics

Vector graphics

Vector graphics are digital images created using mathematical formulas to define shapes, lines, and colors. Unlike raster graphics, which use a fixed grid of pixels (like photos), vector graphics can be scaled up or down without losing quality. This makes them ideal for illustrations, logos, and designs that need to be resized for different uses, from business cards to billboards. Because they are based on paths rather than pixels, vector graphics maintain clarity and sharpness at any size, ensuring a professional look in various applications. Common software for creating vector graphics includes Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape.
