Experiment: Try zooming in a photo as much as you can. It will eventually "pixelate". The fact that the image is made of pixels makes it a bitmap image. The Bitmap Image format is the best example (it doesn't compress an image), and because it stores every pixel individually, it could get quite large in size.

Let's take a vector image instead. On Linux I've got quite a good experience with vector images. These could be zoomed at any level and, even though no more detail is revealed, you no longer get the "pixelated" aspect. They are usually smaller in size (a SVG file could get quite small compared to a bitmap image, unless the level of detail is very high) and, as I mentioned, scale well. A good format is the SVG image format (Windows itself can't open it, so try opening it with a web browser)
