How to determine the Image Size in Pixels

In general…what I was taught is that 72 pixels equal 1 inch

Hi. Thanks.

I think I was trying to find an exact size of the image by querying the image itself so that I can match another item on the screen to this size.

Is there a way to find out the size in inches of an image in the WP interface?

Right now I just see the little widget that lets me set 120, 80, 60 percent or whatever. If I do this or if I don’t I still would like to know what the size of the image is…

Thanks.

in firefox, if you right-click on your image, and select ‘view image’, and then hover over the title tag in the browser tab, you might be able to see the image dimensions.

if you post a link to your site, i could check this.

Hi Alchhymyth.

Thank you very much.

Slowly trying to put it together.

Right now I am trying to see if there is a better way to control image sizes instead of reducing them by a percentage (with the little slide icon). Alternatively it would be helpful to know what the “actual” size of the image is so that I could – for instance – match the WIDTH of the Vimeo Video with the Width of the Image…

Again a ton of thanks.

i see the method is not working for rescaled images ??

however, from the html in the browser, you get this info:
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2888" title="formpig_artifacts of research_siggraph" src="https://formpig.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/formpig_artifacts-of-research_siggraph.jpg" alt="" width="439" height="584" /></p>

Hey. A ton of thanks.

So, if I am following here – I right click on the image when it is in Safari or whatever and then I see that it is 439 x 584 pixels, yes?

And then – I guess – is there a way to reset any images to “non-scaled”? Or is there an easy way to see if an image has been scaled? Somehow I remember that if I resized an image to 80 percent I don’t get an option to go back and set it to 100 percent because 100 percent is greyed out.

Lastly, assuming I am using un-scaled images, is there a way to resize an image with a pixel size instead of a percentage?

Thanks a bunch…

no – unfortunately the right-click method does not work with scaled images.

you view your page with your browser, and then click for instance in IE ‘View’ ‘Source’ on your browser toolbar, which should open a page with the html code of your page. then you have to identify which part belongs to your image, and then you can find the size (width="439" height="584")

i don’t think so;
however, you could set the ‘default’ sizes for ‘large’, ‘medium’, ‘thumb’ in ‘dashboard’ ‘settings’ ‘media’ – and then select the appropriate size when inserting the image.

(unfortunately, only effects newly uploaded images)

OK. Thanks a lot.

I will probably reload images that have been sized down, I guess.

And then If it is too large I will resize the image outside of WP and reload it.

This way if I want to match a vimeo vid I will have a size that I can get to match.

I think I’m moving….

There are several ways to get the exact image size.
In Windows right click on the image and choose Properties. The pop up has the exact dimensions.
On a Mac right click on the image and choose View image info.
On FireFox using developers tools use the images drop down then choose view image information.
I have more if these don’t work.

Thank you….!

Much appreciate the help.

Regards.
