image resolution

Picture detail measurement

Image resolution is the level of detail an image contains, measured by the number of pixels or dots it comprises.

Higher resolution means more detail and sharper appearance: The photo looked grainy because of low resolution.

Resolution is typically expressed as dimensions (1920 × 1080) or density (300 dpi).

Screen resolution refers to a display's pixel count.
