Raster images are the most common digital image and are best for photographs and images with a lot of shading. Also, if the edge of a line were to fall between two pixels, it will get averaged and appear blurry or shaded. The image will appear clearly at its intended resolution but will lose quality when scaled since pixels will be averaged.

Pixel size is set by the resolution of the raster image based on the number of pixels per inch. The image is made from a fixed number of pixels, but the size of a pixel is not defined. Raster images, (JPEG, BITMAP, PNG, TIFF) are created by a grid of coloured squares, called pixels. Difference between Vector Graphics and Raster Images Not all image types are suitable for generating g-code for CNC machines. Therefore, if we want to make something on a CNC machine we first need a scaled, mathematical model of it. The programs that control a CNC machine are generated mathematically from a digital model of the object or design that is to be created. Movement of a CNC machine is controlled by programs (G-Code) which move the machine to specific positions or along specific paths. 2.9 Harder (Manual) Way to Trace an Image for CNC.2.8 Will This Work for Text and Fancy Fonts?.1.1 Difference between Vector Graphics and Raster Images.1 Why Vector Graphics Are Required For CNC.
