image magnification

Making pictures bigger

Image magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size of an image or the degree to which an image has been enlarged.

In optics, magnification refers to how much larger an object appears through a lens or microscope compared to viewing it unaided.

In digital contexts, magnification involves scaling an image up, often at the cost of sharpness: At high magnification, the pixels became visible.
