480x480

480x480 refers to a digital image resolution with 480 pixels in width and 480 pixels in height, resulting in a square image with a 1:1 aspect ratio. The total pixel count is 230,400. This square format is commonly used in cases where uniform dimensions are desired, such as icons, avatars, and square thumbnails.

In practice, 480x480 is used for various assets in digital interfaces, including app icons on certain platforms, profile pictures on websites and social media services, and square elements within web or game graphics. It can also appear in sprite sheets and other UI assets where a consistent square tile is advantageous to layout and alignment.

From a technical standpoint, the visual quality of a 480x480 image depends on display pixel density and compression. On high-density displays, a 480x480 image may appear less sharp if scaled too large. File formats commonly used for this resolution include PNG, which preserves transparency and is lossless, and JPEG, which offers smaller file sizes at the cost of some compression artifacts. When incorporated into responsive designs, the image may be scaled up or down, with upscaling potentially reducing clarity.

Compared to video resolutions, 480x480 is not a standard video dimension; it is a fixed square still image size. It serves as a practical, portable size for square-centric assets across various digital platforms.
