Calculate Bits Per Pixel (BPP)

What is Bits Per Pixel (BPP)?

Bits per pixel (BPP) is a measure of the number of bits used to represent each pixel in a digital image or video. It is directly related to the color depth, which defines the number of distinct colors that can be represented. A higher BPP indicates a greater range of colors and typically results in a higher-quality image, but also requires more storage space.

Formula

The formula to calculate bits per pixel is:

\[ \text{BPP} = \text{CD} \]

Where:

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{BPP} = 24 \]

The BPP is 24 bits per pixel.
