Bitmap and Vector are the different types of computer file formats that you can set for images. These two are the ones that were introduced while editing on Photoshop, and when opening each file the look is slightly different.
Bitmap files use pixels to make the bigger picture, pixels are the smallest of color in the image that you see. Thousands and thousands pixels were used to make the image which depends on the resolution set on the picture, the bigger the resolution the more pixels there are. Resolution determines the quality of the picture and often are the best looking of the two. This file format is also easier to convert to files like JPG, PNG, TIF, BMP. Bitmap is the format that you will use most often in Photoshop. Vector files are images that are completely described by mathematical definitions. Actual lines make up the drawing of the photo, which are made up of many points with lines interconnecting ll of them are just a couple of control points connected using Bezier curves. When focusing on file size they tend to be smaller because of Bezier curves that shape the drawing.Unlike bitmap files Vector images don't lose quality by being scaled from its original size which makes this commonly used for things people have to resize every now and then.While this is not the default, Photoshop can use the Vector format, and re most saved as EPS, PDF, PSD, and AI.
