A pixel is the smallest element of a digital image or raster graphic that can be displayed or manipulated. A pixel is defined by its location and color.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The term “pixel” is derived from the words “picture element”. Pixels are arranged in a grid to create an image. The number of pixels in an image is called the <\/span>resolution<\/i><\/span>. A higher resolution image has more pixels, which means that it can display more detail.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Pixels are typically represented as a number of bits. A pixel with 8 bits can store 256 colors, while a pixel with 24 bits can store over 16 million colors. The number of bits used to represent a pixel is called the <\/span>color depth<\/i><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The color of a pixel is determined by its red, green, and blue (RGB) values. Each value can range from 0 to 255. A value of 0 represents no color, while a value of 255 represents the maximum amount of color.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Pixels are used to create images on computer screens, televisions, and other devices. They are also used to create images in computer graphics software.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Additional details about pixels:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nOverview<\/h3>\n
