pixelfläche

Pixelfläche is a term used in digital imaging and computer graphics to describe the total number of pixels that make up a two-dimensional image. It is essentially the area of the image measured in pixels. The pixelfläche is calculated by multiplying the image's width in pixels by its height in pixels. For example, an image with a resolution of 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high has a pixelfläche of 1920 * 1080 = 2,073,600 pixels.

A larger pixelfläche generally indicates a higher level of detail and clarity in an image, assuming the quality of the pixels themselves is good. This is often referred to as image resolution. Higher resolution images, with their larger pixelfläche, are typically preferred for printing at larger sizes or for detailed editing, as they retain more information. Conversely, images with a smaller pixelfläche may appear pixelated or blurry when enlarged. The term is also relevant in discussions about display technology, where the screen's pixelfläche determines how much content can be displayed at once and with what level of sharpness. Understanding pixelfläche is fundamental to comprehending image quality and digital display capabilities.
