96×96

96×96 denotes a square where both width and height measure 96 units. In digital contexts, the unit is usually a pixel, so a 96×96 image contains 9,216 pixels in total and has a square aspect ratio of 1:1. The term can also describe measurements in printing or design using other units, such as millimeters or points, depending on context.

Mathematically, the area of a 96×96 square is 9,216 square units, and the diagonal length is 96√2 units, roughly 135.8 units. The divisors of 96 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 96) make it a convenient dimension for tiling, layouts, and flexible scaling in grid-based designs.

In digital media, 96×96 is a common size for small icons, avatars, sprites in games, and thumbnails. It offers a balance between recognizability and compactness, suitable for user interfaces and lists. Memory usage for a 96×96 image depends on color depth: a 24-bit color image uses 9,216 × 3 = 27,648 bytes (about 27 KB), while a 32-bit image with an alpha channel uses 9,216 × 4 = 36,864 bytes (about 36 KB).

Common file formats for 96×96 graphics include PNG, ICO, JPEG, and GIF, chosen based on transparency needs and compression. In vector workflows, 96×96 can be rendered from scalable graphics to produce a crisp raster image at that resolution, or used as a fixed-dimension tile within a larger composition.
