Image size, dimensions, and resolution

A practical distinction between pixel dimensions, file size, and print resolution.

Pixels determine the digital canvas

A 1600 × 1000 image contains 1.6 million pixels. Pixel dimensions control how much detail can be displayed or processed on a screen; they are independent of whether the file is JPG, PNG, or WebP.

File size is a separate constraint

Two images with the same dimensions can have very different file sizes because compression, color content, metadata, and format differ. Resize dimensions when the canvas is too large; adjust quality or format when the file is too large to transfer or store.
