8bitperkanal
8bitperkanal is a term used in digital imaging to describe a color depth where each color channel is represented by 8 bits. In the common RGB color model, this means 256 distinct values for red, green, and blue, yielding 16,777,216 possible colors per pixel. When an alpha channel is added (RGBA), 8 bits per channel means 32 bits per pixel, enabling simple transparency handling.
Commonly used in images and videos intended for consumer displays and web, 8-bit-per-channel color is supported
Advantages include broad compatibility and smaller file sizes compared to higher-depth sources. Disadvantages include limited color
Alternatives include higher bit depths per channel, such as 10, 12, or 16 bits, used in professional
