Practical guide
Settings, common uses and limitations before you process a file.
The image size checker reads width, height, file size, megapixels, aspect ratio and an estimated print size. It helps confirm whether a photo meets a website, visa, form or printing requirement before upload.
Pixel dimensions and file size are different measurements. A 3000 × 2000 image can have many different KB values depending on format and compression, while DPI metadata mainly affects intended print size rather than screen detail.
Common uses
- Check whether an image meets a pixel requirement
- Confirm a file is below an upload-size limit
- Compare several photos in one report
- Estimate print dimensions at 300 DPI
Better results
- Check both pixel dimensions and KB when a form lists both
- Use megapixels to compare total image resolution
- Verify aspect ratio before cropping
- Export the CSV when reviewing many files
Important limitations
- Estimated print size depends on the chosen DPI assumption
- Some metadata may be unavailable in browser-readable files
- File dimensions do not prove that an image is visually sharp
