2048×2048

2048×2048 refers to a square raster image dimension, consisting of 2048 pixels in width and 2048 pixels in height. The total pixel count is 4,194,304, giving the image a 1:1 aspect ratio. This size is commonly used for high-resolution textures, square icons, album art, and wallpapers. As a raster image, its file size depends on color depth and compression; for example, an uncompressed 8-bit-per-channel RGB image is about 12 MB, while one with an alpha channel (RGBA) is about 16 MB. In practice, images are stored in compressed formats such as PNG or JPEG, which reduces file size at the cost of some quality.

In graphics pipelines, 2048 is a power-of-two dimension, a legacy property that aided texture sampling and mipmapping on older hardware; modern GPUs handle non-power-of-two textures as well, but 2048 remains a common balance of detail and memory usage. The size is sufficient for many large textures used in 3D scenes, as well as crisp 2D assets on high-resolution displays.

When preparing 2048×2048 assets, editors allow resizing and export in various formats and color spaces, typically sRGB for screen viewing. For printing, the physical size depends on DPI; at 300 DPI, a 2048×2048 image yields roughly 6.8 by 6.8 inches.

Common formats include PNG for lossless images with transparency, JPEG for photographic content with smaller file sizes, and TIFF or WebP depending on workflow.
