  • Vector images uses less memory space and has a smaller file size
  • In Web pages, pages that uses vector images in plugins downloads faster and when used for animation draws faster.
  • Vector images cannot be used for photorealistic images
  • Vector images requires plug-in for Web displays
  • Bitmaps are not easily scalable and resizable
  • Bitmaps can be converted to Vector images using autotracing.
