What are editorial images/video?
While most stock assets are used to promote or sell products, services, and ideas, editorial assets are traditionally utilized to illustrate a news-related story, like a political rally or red-carpet event.
What are vectors?
Vector images — or vectors, as they are often called — are graphics that can be infinitely scaled without any loss of resolution or quality. Vector editing can be accomplished in applications like Adobe Illustrator, Sketch, or Google SketchUp.
Note: Vector images must be rasterized and saved as a bitmap file — JPG, PNG, GIF, etc. — before they can be used on websites or modified in many photo editing applications. VectorMagic offers a free online vector bitmap conversion service.
