Pildid

Pildid is the Estonian word for pictures or images. The term encompasses visual representations created by drawing, photography, or digital means. The singular form is pilt, and pildid refers to images in general.

In everyday Estonian usage, pildid appear in education, media, archives, and online culture. They are discussed as a category of visual material and are commonly found in photo albums, news reports, art catalogs, and social media galleries. The word is also used to describe stills from films, illustrations in books, and digital graphics.

Visual forms that fall under pildid include photographs (fotod), drawings and paintings (joonistused ja maalid), and other digital images (graafika, pildiridade). The concept covers both traditional and contemporary media, reflecting the shift from physical prints to digital files while retaining an overarching idea of captured or created imagery.

Digital pildid are typically stored and transmitted in common image formats such as JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. Metadata, color profiles, and licensing information are often associated with pildid to manage attribution, rights, and provenance. The handling of pildid in libraries, archives, and online platforms frequently involves considerations of copyright, privacy, and usage permissions.
