Vector and bitmap are two different ways to create computer graphics. Vector images are generated by the software and based on mathematical calculations and concepts. At the same time, a bitmap is more common in everyday life, and they are not as much of a challenge to use. One difference is that they possess independence from resolution. Even if you zoom in on the image, it remains flawless.

On the other hand, bitmaps have a set resolution, and if you apply magnification, the individual blocks become more evident. Vectors are impeccable in terms of editing. Nothing gets lost in detail, and they are smaller in size, so the images take up less space. However, the photos that are cultivated during this process are not practical to use in everyday application. The best solution is to use a bitmap. However, a bitmap cannot go back to being a vector image once it becomes bitmap.
