resolution definition and meaning

What is "resolution"?

Resolution refers to the level of detail and clarity in an image or video. It is typically measured by the number of pixels, which are the tiny dots that make up the image. The higher the resolution, the more pixels are packed into the screen, leading to sharper and clearer visuals. For example, a 1080p resolution has more pixels than a 720p resolution, providing better quality. Resolution is important for both images and videos, as it affects how clear and detailed the content appears on different devices.
