How to Convert Raster Image to Vector Graphics in Illustrator cs6?
If you want to convert any jpg, png, gif, etc raster images in to vector
graphics.
Follow bellow simple steps.
Difference between Raster and Vector?
A raster image is made of up pixels, each a different color, arranged to display an image.
A vector image is made up of paths; each with a mathematical formula (vector) that tells the path how it is shaped and what color it is bordered with or filled by.
The major difference is that raster image pixels do not retain their appearance as size increases – when you blow a photograph up, it becomes blurry for this reason. Vector images do retain appearance regardless of size, since the mathematical formulas dictate how the image is rendered.
