Whether you are talking about creating an image from scratch, (and to do this I am not able yet), whether you are talking about to vectorize a raster image......

When I started in 2015, vector images were made only by Garigor, first I tried with Inkscape, (free), but the quality is poor, later with Corel Draw, but it does not import and saves the svg images. After I downloaded Illustrator and I had to learn how to use it, just that little bit ....

- Pictures much less heavy (Kilooctet).

If you talk about simple images, for those a little more complex, if you want images very similar to reality, they weigh much more than raster images......
