You may not have come across the terms raster and vector before but they are used to describe two different types of imagery. If you've been building presentations for a while in Prezi or another piece of software, the chances are you've scanned through hundreds and hundreds of raster and vector images without even realizing it. After all, why would you need to know these terms? All you need is to make great presentations for your business, right?

While we totally agree that you don't need to be a professor of the arts to build great presentations, we do believe that knowing the difference between your raster and vector imagery will benefit you massively and help you become a true master of Prezi.

We hope you'll agree that the best Prezis are always the ones that have obviously been planned very well from the start. If you're a reader of my blog, then you'll know that I love to preach about the importance of planning before you even touch the Prezi software. A part of that early planning should be deciding what type of imagery you're going to use, and if there is a particular style you want your Prezi to have. You might also want your Prezi to be small in file size, which is another reason why choosing the right imagery will help.

Let's explore raster and vector imagery together and you can make up your own mind as to which would be right for you and your Prezis.
