[Evoto AI] What is Image Resolution and How to Change Image Resolution

Ever wondered why some photos look crisp and clear while others appear blurry when zoomed in? The answer lies in image resolution. It determines the level of detail and sharpness in your image.

This article explores image resolution, its impact on photos, and how to modify it using popular tools like Photoshop and our very own Evoto AI.

What is Image Resolution?

Imagine a mosaic – the more tiles it has, the finer the details you can see. Image resolution works similarly.

It refers to the number of tiny building blocks, called pixels, that make up a digital image. The higher the number of pixels, the more detail and sharpness your photo holds. This translates to crisp lines, clear edges, and the ability to zoom in without quality loss. Conversely, lower resolutions result in fewer pixels, leading to a blocky or blurry appearance when magnified.

Understanding image resolution is crucial for controlling photo quality and achieving the desired outcome, whether it's for printing or sharing online.

How to Find Out Image Resolution (Windows & Mac)

Now that we understand the importance of image resolution, let's delve into how to discover this information for your photos. Thankfully, both Windows and Mac offer built-in methods to unveil this hidden detail.
