What are the benefits of Prezi?
I hope you're now starting to understand the roles that these two very important image types play in getting your Prezi looking great and loading fast.
This book is all about you mastering Prezi, so, it's vital that you understand the impact that everything explained so far has on your Prezi designs.

Raster ( |
There are literally thousands of imagery types available to you online so with some patience you should be able to find some great imagery for your Prezi. Most raster images will be photographs which give more life to your Prezi. Zooming in and out of detail is very effective when using raster images saved at a high resolution. You can use Prezis built-in Google search to quickly find raster images. |
It's difficult to find lots of raster imagery in the same consistent style unless you pay for it from an online library. Zooming in too close to raster imagery will cause pixilation in Prezi. Big raster images can be slow to load when users first open a Prezi. Lots of raster images in Prezi will mean a larger file size for your presentation. |

Vector ( |
Vector images will always have good compression so file size is extremely small. You'll be able to zoom into a vector image without any loss of quality or pixilation. Vector images are scalable so enlarging them will not affect the quality of the image at all. It is possible to take a raster image and "vectorise" it to get all of the benefits mentioned previously. |
Quality vector images will not show up in the Prezi image search feature detailed. Vector images do not look like real life photographs, and this can sometimes be a distraction to anyone viewing your Prezi. |
Note
I am hoping that by now you have started to understand the benefits listed previously, and may be in favor of either raster or vector. If not, then keep on reading and I'm sure you'll come to a conclusion very soon.
