Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)

We often see and use vector graphics on Wikimedia projects, or images tagged as ones that should be vector, but often without even realising what vector really is, or why it is important.

This presentation will thus discuss the vector format, the difference between vector and bitmap (and what bitmap is), why it is used, what advantages and pitfalls it entails, how it is used across Wikipedia and other projects, and show attendees how easy it is to edit and create their own.

Length of presentation/talk (see Presentation Types for lengths of different presentation types)

<45 Minutes
