What it is
Scalable graphics are visuals that can be resized without losing quality. In practice, this usually means vector-based graphics.
Why it matters
Design assets must work across mobile, desktop, social, and print sizes. Scalability prevents blurry output and rework.
Common use cases
- Responsive UI assets
- Marketing graphics across channels
- Print and digital reuse from one source
Quick comparison
Raster files depend on pixel resolution; scalable vector graphics do not.
