What are vector files?

Vector files are a type of digital image file that are created using mathematical equations rather than pixels. This means that they are resolution-independent, meaning that they can be scaled up or down without losing any quality or clarity.

In contrast, raster images (such as JPEGs, PNGs, and GIFs) are made up of individual pixels, which can cause quality loss when they are scaled up or down. Vector files, on the other hand, can be resized as much as needed without losing any detail.

Popular vector file types include:

• Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
• Drawing Exchange Format (DXF)
• Encapsulated Post Script (EPS)
• Portable Document Format (PDF)
