Craking is the process whereby complex molecules are broken down into simpler molecules :

Example :

C36H74 + H2 >> C2H6 + C34H70

Reforming is a process used to convert molecules having low octane ratings into hight- octane liquid products

Example

CH3(CH2)6CH3 >> CH3C(CH3)2CH2CH(CH3)CH3

Reforming is a process that involves rearranging the molecular structure of hydrocarbons to produce higher-value products like gasoline or aromatics. Cracking, on the other hand, breaks down larger hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones, typically to yield products like gasoline or ethylene. Both processes are important in the refining industry to optimize product yields and meet market demands.
