The most obvious difference is when the image is being enlarged. So from the definition of raster and vector above, we can conclude that raster is suitable for complicated detailed images such as photos or paintings, while vectors are suitable for logos, icons, illustrations, that are arranged from shapes. While in vector, the image is still smooth and sharp. But in the vector image, it will not lose the quality at all. In the raster image, you will see the squares of the pixel. When you zoom in the same size of vector and raster image, it looks different. The difference between raster & vector when zooming So for vector images, if you wish to print it on small business cards, A4 size, or even gigantic size of banner, the images or text will still be sharp & smooth.įor more details see the explanation below. So if you type in Microsoft Word using Arial font, the font size can be changed as you wish without losing quality. Modern fonts on a computer base on vector data. Designers can enlarge images to any size without losing quality because it does not contain data of color per pixel, but data of lines, curves, or shapes.Īnother example of a common vector application is font. If using a vector, the designer doesn’t have to worry about the image size. Vector format can also create realistic images, but with a set of complex shapes. Image by OpenClipart-Vectors from Pixabay Such as logos, layouts, illustrations, infographics, maps, cartoons, etc. And with these characteristics, vector format is suitable for non-realistic / non-photographic images. For example, a designer who draws a logo can easily change the color of a particular part, change the shape, bend the lines, etc. Geometric forms, shapes, points, curves, can be arranged into complex shapes. If there is a circle next to a triangle, then the data of the second object containing information of coordinates of the center of the circle, as well as diameter, line type, and color. triangle color (solid color or gradation color).color, thickness, type (solid line, dash, or dots) coordinates of each point that forms a triangle.For example, an image of a triangle contains information of triangle object such as: In vector, images are defined in an information data format. So the 18-megapixel image is obviously bigger than 5-megapixel. It makes more data is stored and the file size getting bigger. The bigger the image, the bigger the matrix grid. So the raster image is stored as a matrix.
