Vector format provides several advantages over raster (bitmap) format:

1. Scalability: Vector graphics can be resized without losing quality, as they are based on mathematical equations and not pixels.

2. Smaller file size: Vector graphics typically have smaller file sizes than raster graphics of the same quality and resolution.

3. Editing: Vector graphics can be easily edited and modified, as they are composed of individual shapes and lines that can be manipulated.

4. Compatibility: Vector graphics are compatible with a wide range of software and devices, making them a versatile format for sharing and printing.

5. Precision: Vector graphics offer more precision and sharpness, especially for text and graphics with straight lines and curves.
