Systems and methods for dynamic modification of image resolution are disclosed. In embodiments, a method comprises: identifying, by the computing device, one or more contextually relevant portions of a digital image based on user context data; creating, by the computing device, boundaries that define the one or more contextually relevant portions of the digital image; ranking, by the computing device, the one or more contextually relevant portions and one or more remaining portions of the digital image; and generating, by the computing device, an altered version of the digital image, wherein the altered version comprises one or more contextually relevant portions at a higher resolution than the one or more remaining portions.
