Bitmap

A bitmap is a digital image made up of tiny individual squares called pixels, each representing a specific color and brightness. When combined, these pixels form the complete picture. Think of it like a mosaic where each tile's color contributes to the overall image. Bitmaps are commonly used in digital photography and screen displays because they can capture detailed visuals. The quality depends on resolution—the number of pixels; higher resolution means more detail. However, larger bitmaps require more storage space and processing power, so there's a balance between image quality and file size.
