What is the difference between an image editor and an illustration program?

§          An image editor (aka paint programs) lets you edit bitmap images (aka raster images) which are images made up of thousand of tiny dots, or pixels.
§          Common image editors include Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Paint
§          Illustration programs (aka drawing programs) edit vector images (aka vector illustrations) which use geometric shapes to make up the image.
§          Common illustration programs include Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw

  1. Every image editor is developed based on pixel and illustrator is built based on vector.

  2. Illustration programs are used for vector image editing, which use geometric shapes to make up the image. But an image editor lets you edit raster images, which are images made up of thousand of tiny dots, or pixels.
