Bitmap images are also called raster images. Each pixel in a bitmap image has a specific location and color value assigned to it. Bitmap images reproduce the subtle shading found in continuous-tone images, such as photographs. Bitmap images are resolution dependent. They represent a fixed number of pixels; as a result, they can lose detail and appear jagged if they are scaled on-screen.
- The most common raster file types are .bmp, .jpeg, and .gif.
