lowest-resolution
Least detailed image
Lowest-resolution describes the version of something—typically an image, video, or display—with the fewest pixels or least detail available among options.
Resolution measures how much visual information is captured or displayed, so lowest-resolution means the coarsest, least sharp version: Download the lowest-resolution file if you're short on storage.
Figuratively, it can describe the most simplified or least nuanced understanding of something.
