FlashPix
open-in-new
<p>FlashPix is a <a href="/facts/Bitmap/Fr80ySnT">bitmapped</a> <a href="/facts/Computer_graphics/lapBE8wv">computer graphics</a> file format where the image is saved in more than one <a href="/facts/Display_resolution/8LQTWvl3">resolution</a>. Its design anticipated that when an <a href="/facts/HTTP_request/TWtvf7JD">HTTP request</a> is sent for the file by a <a href="/facts/Browser_plugin/jzkeh57V">browser plugin</a> implementing the format, only the image compatible with the current screen resolution is returned to the browser,[<i>dubious – discuss</i>] saving on <a href="/facts/Bandwidth_(computing)/lY6Tb4gX">bandwidth</a> and download time. </p>
