digital reproduction
Scanned file version
Digital reproduction is a copy made using digital technology—scanning, photographing, or otherwise converting something into electronic data that can be stored, duplicated, and distributed.
The term applies to artworks, documents, audio recordings, and other media: The museum offers high-resolution digital reproductions of its paintings.
Unlike analog copies, digital reproductions can be duplicated infinitely without degradation.
