Raster graphic

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000994

An image representation method that defines a picture as a grid of individual pixels, with each pixel assigned a specific color value. This pixel-based structure means that the image is resolution-dependent; enlarging it beyond its original dimensions causes a loss of quality, resulting in a blocky or blurry appearance. Common raster file formats include JPEG, PNG, and GIF, which differ in their compression methods and support for features like transparency.
