How do I save an edited image without losing quality?

What is the difference between raster and vector images?
Raster images are made up of pixels and are resolution-dependent, meaning they can lose quality when scaled up. Vector images, on the other hand, use mathematical equations to define shapes, making them resolution-independent and ideal for logos and illustrations. See example
