A measure of spatial printing or display resolution, representing the number of individual dots that can be placed in a line within the span of one inch.
An additional channel in an image that stores transparency information, allowing parts of an image to be completely or partially transparent.

A commonly used lossy compression format for digital images, particularly photographs. Offers a good balance between file size and image quality.
A raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression and transparency. Ideal for images with sharp edges, text, or transparency needs.
An XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics. Scales to any size without losing quality and can be animated or interactive.
A modern image format developed by Google that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for web images, supporting animation and transparency.
A flexible, adaptable file format for handling images and data, commonly used in publishing, photography, and professional printing.
An approach to web design that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes, ensuring optimal viewing experience.
A geographically distributed network of servers that work together to provide fast delivery of Internet content, including web pages, images, and videos.

The process of removing unnecessary characters from code (like white space, comments, and line breaks) without changing functionality, to reduce file size.
A set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other, enabling integration and data exchange.
The percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears on a web page compared to the total number of words on the page. A factor in search engine ranking algorithms.
A text description of an image that appears if the image fails to load, and is read by screen readers for visually impaired users. Also used by search engines to understand image content.
A link from one website to another. Search engines consider backlinks as votes of confidence, potentially improving the search ranking of the linked site.
