High resolution vs. Low Resolution (Credit: Dayna Christians, Marketing Content Strategist at TechSmith)
Hi-res stands for high resolution or denser quality image.
Images are made of tiny pixels or squares of color. You usually don't notice individual pixels because they all blend together to form the picture that you recognize. You can see pixels when you zoom in really close or if you try to enlarge an image beyond what it can handle.

The lo-res image on the right looks great at its normal size. But zoomed in, it looks choppy. You can see why enlarging lo-res images gives blurry results.

Lo-res images have around 72 ppi. This makes them great for the web because that's all your computer screen will display.
Hi-res images are at least 300 ppi. This resolution makes for good print quality and is a pretty much requirement for anything that you want hard copies of.
Just because it looks good on your screen doesn't mean it's hi-res. You can't tell by the length-width dimensions either. Heavy file size can be a clue, but not in all cases. The best way is to open up the picture in an image program and view the file properties.
In my case, since I am using my phone. I open my gallery and click on "Details"

Important Questions
How many pixels are enough in your digital images? (Credit: dummies.com)
Pixels for screen use like web pages, multimedia presentations, or other on-screen use just needs very few pixels. You usually just need to match the pixel dimensions to the amount on the screen. In most cases, 640 × 480 is more than enough and in many projects, you need half than many pixels or even fewer.
How to have high quality graphics after editing?
Usually, the best trick is to convert or save the graphic as a png. If you don't know what a png is, that will be discussed in the next chapter.
