== Terminology == Binary images are also called ''bi-level'' or ''two-level''. [[Pixel art]] made up of two colours is often referred to as ''1-bit'' in reference to the single bit required to store each pixel.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Top games tagged 1-bit|url=https://itch.io/games/tag-1-bit|access-date=2021-04-29|website=itch.io|language=en}}</ref> The names ''black-and-white'', ''B&W'', ''[[monochrome]]'' or ''monochromatic'' are often used, but can also designate other image types with only one sample per pixel, such as [[Grayscale|grayscale images]]. In [[Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]] parlance, a binary image is the same as an image in "Bitmap" color mode.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.graphics.com/article-old/photoshop-fundamentals-working-different-color-modes |title= Photoshop Fundamentals: Working With Different Color Modes}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.graphics.com/article-old/photoshop-fundamentals-working-different-color-modes|title=Photoshop Fundamentals: Working in Different Color Modes|work=Graphics.com|access-date=2017-10-28|language=en}}</ref>
