In distillation you boil off the substance you want ... then re-condense it.

In fractional distillation you boil up a mixture of original substance ...

and tap off the "steam" (the vapor) at various levels (thus different temperatures) and so you get different substances at each tap.

It is most commonly used for crude oil to get many products.
