ABSTRACT
When a bitmap file type is used, the computer divides the picture into a grid.
You can see the squares on the grid if you zoom in very close to a bitmap
image. These squares are known as pixels.
Bitmaps are good file types to use when you are working with very complex
textures or photographs. However, the file sizes can be large and if your
image is scanned or created with a low resolution to keep the file size down,
you may get a pixilated image in which you can see the square outlines of
your pixels.
