An image with 1 bit of color information per pixel, also known as a bitmapped image.

A graphic image stored as a specific pattern of dots, or pixels. Web graphics are bitmap images. Bitmap images are also known as raster images. Common types of bitmap graphics are GIF, JPEG, Photoshop, PCX, TIFF, Microsoft Paint, PNG, and TGA.

a pixel-based image (.BMP) with one bit of color information per pixel, also known as a bitmapped image. The only colors displayed in a bitmapped image are black and white. Its quality decreases when the image is enlarged.

An image which defines the color of each pixel in the image.

An image construted from individual dots or pixels set to a grid like a mosaic. Most digital photographs and screen captures are bitmap images.

Bitmap images are made up of pixels. The number of pixels used is reflected in the resolution of the image. Also see " vector images" and our article explaining the difference between bitmap and vector images.

An image made up of only white and black pixels. It contains only 1 bit of colour information per pixel. Normal colour images are 8bit where each pixel contains 8 bits of colour information per channel (RGB = 8x8x8 or 256).

a digital version of a sign design or any graphic composed of small black and white or colored dots which, when viewed from a distance, appear as a continuous image

a file class that describes images--pixel for pixel--at a fixed resolution

a graphics file that is made up of pixels

an image that is lacking grayscale information

a specific raster format

Also referred to as a raster image; a method of storing information that maps an image pixel. The bitmap image consists of rows of pixels.

A file type used as the standard image storage format in Microsoft® Windows®. Identified by the extension .bmp.

Bitmap Image (bmp) is a graphical image format

An image stored in a pixel-by-pixel format. To display a bit-mapped image on a monitor or print it on a printer, the computer translates the bitmap into pixels (for display screen) or ink dots (for printers). Bitmap images are often referred to as raster graphics.

Images created or captured as a grid of colored dots called pixels. Because a bitmap image - also known as a raster image - contains a finite number of pixels, the way a bitmap image looks is affected by its resolution. If you scale a bitmap image, it will lose detail and quality. See also vector image.

Picture file in which the data defines the image as orderly rows and columns of pixels arranged in a specific grid pattern. Bit map images are created by "paint" and "image editing" programs.

A data file or structure, which corresponds bit for bit with an image displayed on a screen. A graphic image stored as a specific arrangement of screen dots, or pixels. Web graphics are bitmap images.

A graphic image stored as a specific arrangement of screen dots, or pixels. Web graphics are bitmap images. A graphic which is defined by specifying the colors of dots or pixels which make up the picture.

A type of computer graphics file. Bitmap images, also called raster or paint images, are made of individual dots, called pixels (picture elements), that are arranged and colored differently to form a pattern. Images are therefore resolution dependent and can only be scaled minimally without degrading the image. Because a bitmap image is created as a collection of arranged pixels, it can be difficult and time consuming to edit or modify. See Vector Image and Art & Design/File Conversion.

also called a raster image, is made of pixels or dots that are arranged and colored differently to form an image or pattern such as a photograph or logo. When you zoom in, you can see the individual squares that make up the total image. Increasing the size of a bitmap has the effect of increasing individual pixels because extra pixels are added that did not originally exist, making lines and shapes appear jagged and distorted. Reducing the size of a bitmap also distorts the original image, because pixels are removed to reduce the overall image size and quality.

Also raster image. An arrangement of small squares (pixels) used to define an image.

The technical term for bitmap images is raster images. Raster images are composed of pixels. Raster images are resolution dependent because the amount of detail is dependent on the number of pixels. The most common way to store digital photographs is as a raster, or bitmap, image because of its ability to store gradual changes in tone. Compare to vector graphic.

A graphic format that records color information about each individual pixel of an image.

A type of image file format that uses a grid of pixels to create shapes. Bitmap images, sometimes called raster images, consist of a fixed number of individually editable pixels. Photographs and screen captures are usually bitmap images. Popular bitmap file formats include GIF, JPEG, and TIFF.

An image that is made up of a group of individual screen dots or pixels to make up the picture. These images are usually only suitable for photography or web graphics. Increasing the size of a bitmap image causes the pixels to enlarge, which loses quality and causes the image to become pixilated. Bitmap images need to be saved and set to a specified size and resolution before the final output.

(Or Bitmap Image) Most computer images are bitmapped, meaning they are made up of individual colored pixels (one bit of information per pixel). A close examination of these images will reveal jagged edges (see aliasing).

Bit mapped images are composed of individual dots. This type of file is very good for photographs and complex drawings. The downside of using bitmap images, is that when you change the size of the image on the page, there is a loss of detail. The file names of such pictures often end in jpeg, png or gif.

An image represented as a set of pixels arranged in a rectangular pattern. Bitmap files have a file extension of .BMP. Bitmap files can be created using almost any paint program.

A bitmap image is a pixel-based image(.BMP) Its quality decreases when the image is enlarged.
