Vector images are images described by shapes such as lines, circles and squares, as opposed to bitmap images which are described by pixels - squares of color arranged in a grid. The shapes are precise mathematical descriptions of the image and can be scaled without becoming blurry or "pixilated" (that blocky look that bitmap/raster images so often get when scaled up).

What is vector digitizing? Vector also known as tracing, is the process of converting a bitmap image to a vector image. It can be done by hand ("hand-tracing"), or by a computer program ("auto-tracing"). We use a combination of both techniques by auto-tracing and then cleaning up the results by hand.
