%X BACKGROUND: Although photogrammetry is a widespread technique in the health field, despite of the methodological efforts distortions in the angular readings of the images are common. OBJECTIVE: To measure the error of angular measurements in photo images with different digital resolutions in an object with pre-determined angles. METHODS: We used a rubber ball with 52 cm in circumference. The object was previously marked with angles of 10¡ã, 30¡ã, 60¡ã and 90¡ã degrees. The photographic records were performed with the focal axis of the camera perpendicular and three meters away from the object, without the use of optical zoom and a resolution of 3, 5 and 10 Megapixels (Mp). All photographic records were stored and a previously trained experimenter using the computer program ImageJ analyzed the angular values of each photo. The measurements were performed twice within a fifteen-days interval. Subsequently, we calculated the accuracy, relative error and error in degrees values, precision and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). RESULTS: When analyzing the angle of 10¡ã, the average accuracy of measurements was higher for those records of 3 Mp resolution compared to 5 and 10 Mp resolutions. The ICC was considered excellent for all resolutions. With regards to the analyzed angles in photographic records, it was possible to verify that the 90-degree angle photographs were more accurate, had lower relative error and error in degrees, and were more precise, regardless of image resolution. CONCLUSION: The photographs records that were taken with a 3 Mp resolution provided great accuracy and precision measurements and lower errors values, suggesting to be the proper resolution to generate image of angles of 10o and 30o. CONTEXTUALIZA  O: A biofotogrametria ¨¦ uma t¨¦cnica difundida na ¨¢rea da sa¨²de e, apesar dos cuidados metodol¨®gicos, h¨¢ distor  es nas leituras angulares das imagens fotogr¨¢ficas. OBJETIVO: Mensurar o erro das medidas angulares em imagens fotogr¨¢ficas com diferentes resolu  es digitais em um objeto com angulos pr¨¦-demarcados. M¨¦TODOS: Utilizou-se uma esfera de borracha com 52 cm de circunfer¨ºncia. O objeto foi previamente demarcado com angulos de 10o, 30o, 60o e 90o, e os registros fotogr¨¢ficos foram realizados com o eixo focal da camera a tr¨ºs metros de distancia e perpendicular ao objeto, sem utiliza  o de zoom ¨®ptico e com resolu  o de 3, 5 e 10 Megapixels (Mp). Todos os registros fotogr¨¢ficos foram armazenados, e os valores angulares foram analisados por um experimentador previamente treinado, utilizando o pro grama ImageJ. As aferi  es das
