Raster Image

An image made of a grid of pixels, as opposed to a vector image defined by mathematical paths.

Raster images store color values for a grid of pixels. All the formats QuickConvert handles — JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, BMP, HEIC — are raster formats. Raster images lose quality when scaled up, unlike vector formats such as SVG.
