Made of pixels (tiny colored squares).
Best for photos and detailed images.

Lose quality when stretched or zoomed in.

Made of lines, shapes, and mathematical formulas.
Best for logos, icons, and illustrations.
Scalable without losing quality.
File types: SVG, AI, EPS.
👉 Key Difference: Raster = pixel-based, Vector = shape-based.
