A vector image is a graphical representation composed of simple geometric objects such as points, lines, curves, polygons, etc. Complex forms are created by combining these more elementary shapes. The objects' formulas describe the images, so vector images can be enlarged to any desired format without any loss of quality. This is in contrast to a raster or bitmap image, in which individual pixels are coloured in separately on the digital canvas. This means the resolution for the chosen scale is fixed, causing the image to become blurred or chunky when enlarged.
