What is a gigapan?
Photos are measured in pixels, these are the little squares of color that make up a digital photo. A megapixel is one million pixels.
A really good phone camera might have twenty million pixels in the photo and that is referred to as a 20 megapixel image.
Professional cameras that you find in a studio create images from 25 megapixels to 100 megapixels or one hundred million pixels in top of the line cameras costing tens of thousands of dollars.
A gigapixel image is an ultra high resolution image that contains 1,000 megapixels or one thousand million pixels.
A gigapan photo is a super high resolution panoramic photo, that provides amazing levels of detail not possible with regular cameras.
A sample gigpan we shot is linked below. This image it 29,427 pixels by 11,551 pixels, for comparison a 4k resolution monitor is 3840 pixels by 2160 pixels.
