V ectorizing is the process of converting scanned images or other low-quality drawings into high-quality digital images that retains all details with smooth rendering on any scale.
There are two kinds of computer graphics - raster (composed of pixels) and vector (composed of paths). Raster images are more commonly called bitmap images. Bitmaps are composed of pixels. A bitmap image uses a grid of individual pixels where each pixel can be a different color or shade. Vector graphics are composed of paths. They render points and paths connecting them using mathematical formulas. Bitmap images require higher resolutions and anti-aliasing for a smooth appearance. Vector-based graphics, on the other hand, remain smooth at any size or resolution because they are mathematically described. As such, vector graphics are often required or preferred in many applications, in order to preserve the highest image quality when printing images onto fabrics or other media.
The following images illustrate the difference between bitmaps and vector graphics. The image to the left is a bitmap and the image to the right is a vector graphic. Notice that the edges of a bitmap become jagged as it is scaled up:
