Like, Vector images are made of separate shapes instead of pixels, but how does it produce an image on a screen if the screen is covered in pixels?

In some sense a vector file doesn’t actually contain an image, but rather a set of instructions for producing the image – essentially a program in a specialized programming language that, when executed against a given “canvas” will produce the actual pixels. Scaling up or down just changes the size of the canvas, and the program is run again.
