There are two primary types: vector images  bitmap images . Vector Graphics: Made of lines and curves, generated from mathematical descriptions that determine their position, length, and direction. Bitmaps (Raster Images): Composed of small squares called pixels, each mapped to a location in an image with numerical colour values. Vector graphics : perfect for logos and illustrations due to their resolution independence, allowing them to be scaled or printed at any size or resolution without losing detail or quality.
