FAQ

This page collects quick answers to the most common Moondream questions.

What resolution does Moondream down-sample images to?​

Short answer: There's no single fixed resolution. Moondream automatically resizes your image so a grid of small, overlapping square tiles covers it.

  • Tile size: ~378 x 378 px per tile.
  • How many tiles: Up to 12 local tiles plus one global (zoomed-out) view.
  • Pixel budget: About 1.7M pixels from the local tiles (approximately 1.86M including the global view).
  • What you'll see: The exact resized width and height depends on your photo's aspect ratio; Moondream may downscale or upscale to make the tiles fit cleanly.
