A bitmap graphic is composed of a grid of pixels. Each pixel contains data that describes the colour of the pixel, whether it be black or white or a level of gray or a colour. Bitmap images are edited by manipulating groups of pixels. The resolution of the graphic also can become poorer if the graphic is enlarged, or zoomed in to.
A vector graphic is a graphic which is not affected by resolution. A graphic composed of a grid of small squares known as pixels. Each pixel contains data that describes whether it is black, white, or a level of gray or color. Bitmap images are edited by manipulating groups of pixels, and are resolution-dependent.
