In this video, you'll learn the differences between an embedded image and a linked image in Adobe Illustrator.

I'll start by explaining what is an embedded image and what's a linked image, so if you're confused about the difference, don't skip the intro! 😜

👉🏼 Basically, an embedded image is saved in your Illustrator document, and a linked image is saved on your device.

🚨 If your Illustrator document has a lot of embedded images, it's going to be a heavy file, which means it can slow down the program as you work, so I recommend embedded the images at the end (in the case you need to view this file on other devices).
