Rendered pixels are the number of pixels that an image is actually composed of when it is displayed on a screen. The pixels in the two images above are not physical pixels. Zoomed-in image Distinguishing rendered pixels from physical pixels As you can see, zooming in reveals the small dots that constitute your image. We have drawn a square on the palm tree leaves, and have maximized it to make the second image. The first is a landscape scene of palm trees in the desert. You may find below an example of a high-resolution image and a second low-resolution one. In a digital image, each pixel represents a single point in the image, and the combination of these pixels creates the overall picture. The more pixels there are, the higher the resolution, and the sharper and more detailed the image will be. Pixels are arranged in a grid to form a display, and the number of pixels in the grid determines the resolution of the display. When it comes to displays, a pixel is also the smallest element of a display that is normally in the form of squares. If you tried to zoom any of your photos on your phone or PC, you will likely start seeing small squares, which may vary in number based on the quality of the device that was used to take the image. In digital imaging, a pixel is the smallest addressable element of an image.
