A texel is a term used in computer graphics, the abbreviation of texture mapping pixel. Textures are made up of texels, just as a screen is made up of pixels. When drawing an image, a graphics card has to map these texels to the screen. This is done by texture mapping.

Texel is an abbreviation for texture element.
