It’s a very common misconception that vector images are simply scaled-up raster images. That is simply not true, and it’s more complicated than that. To better understand how vector images are created, let’s explore the differences between raster images and vector images.

In a rasterized image, when you want to enlarge an image, you add more pixels. This means there are more dots to make up the image and therefore more detail. However, if you make the image too big, it will appear pixellated. This is due to the enlargement of the dots, as they become too big to blend in with each other and become noticeable.

Vector art is a process of creating a picture, which consists of lines, filled with color. This is done in a way that the vector art can contain any number of colors and can be scaled up or down to any size without losing quality. It is done by using curves and mathematical equations, which allow you to scale your design to whatever size you’d like. In the realm of logo design a lot of people think that vector tracing is something that happens when you take an actual logo and copy it.

A vector graphic, on the other hand, is a mathematical formula that describes the shape of a graphic, rather than a series of dots. This mathematical formula is independent of size and resolution. Therefore, you won’t get pixelation if you enlarge the image or if you change the resolution. This is why vector graphics are used for things like logos, illustrations, signs, and banners.
