'das Bild' and 'die Graphik' can both be something visual. 'Bild' is more general and works for photos, paintings, drawings, or images on a screen. 'Graphik' more often means a designed or drawn visual representation, for example a diagram, an illustration, or a digital image. In some contexts, especially on a computer or in presentations, the two words can be close in meaning. Learners may confuse them because a graphic can also be a picture. When you are speaking generally, 'Bild' is more natural. When the form, design, or information in the representation is important, 'Graphik' fits better.
