Raster graphics, also known as bitmap graphics, are images composed of a grid of individual pixels, where each pixel represents a specific color. This pixel-based approach means that raster images are resolution-dependent; their quality is determined by the number of pixels in the image (measured in resolution, such as DPI or PPI). Common formats for raster graphics include JPEG, PNG, GIF, and BMP.
