downsample

(1) To make a digital image smaller by removing pixels. With a quality image or photo editor, downsampling produces an excellent image. Scaling down always produces a sharper result than scaling to a larger size. Downconverting from a high-definition TV (HDTV) signal to a TV with a lower resolution is also downsampling. Contrast with upsample. See downconvert.
