Raster art is a type of digital artwork created using a grid of pixels, where each pixel represents a specific color. This format is commonly used in images like photographs and digital paintings. When you zoom in on a raster image, you can see the individual squares of color, which can lead to a loss of quality if the image is enlarged beyond its original size. Common file formats for raster art include JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Unlike vector art, which uses mathematical equations to create images, raster art is resolution-dependent, meaning its quality is tied to its pixel dimensions. This makes it ideal for detailed images but less suitable for scaling.
