Raster image(JPG) are made up of pixels. Pixels are tiny dots of individual color that make up what you see on your screen. All these tiny dots of color come together to form the images you see.

Bitmap images are resolution dependent. Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image and is usually stated as dpi (dots per inch) or ppi (pixels per inch).

Vector image on the other hand are composed of well defined geographical shapes, lines, and curves, essentially points connected by lines of various shapes and sizes which can then be filled with color. Vector images are mathematically derived by the computer and not based on pixels.

Because vector images are highly scalable, they are often used to create logos. A vector logo can be easily scaled down to fit on a business card, or scaled up to fit on a tradeshow display, the side of a van or bus, or larger without losing quality. Vector images can also have transparent backgrounds, making them easy to place or layer on top of other graphics. Vector images can be easily converted to bitmaps, but a bitmap image cannot be as easily converted to a vector image, this is where deepetch comes in!
