A bit map (often spelled "bitmap") file defines a display space and the color for each pixel or "bit" in the display space.

A Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) and a JPEG are examples of graphic image file types that contain bit maps.

Because a bit map uses a fixed method of specifying an image, the image cannot be immediately re-scaled by a user without losing definition.
