Can be blurred or distorted; jpg, png, gif ADVANTAGES OF RASTER FILES DISADVANTAGES OF RASTER FILES Attention to detail. Limited Resolution Precise editing Large File Size Widely compatible Printing Issues VECTOR FILES Use mathematical equations, lines, and curves with fixed points on a grid. Mathematical recalibrates to any size. formula svg, Al, Encapsulated PostScript ADVANTAGES OF VECTOR FILES DISADVANTAGES OF RASTER FILES Infinite resolution. Compatibility issues. Lighter file sizes. Conversion difficulties Plenty of design features.
