Are Pixels and Dimensions the Same?

Pixel dimensions measure the total number of pixels along an image's width and height. Resolution is the fineness of detail in a bitmap image and is measured in pixels per inch (ppi). The more pixels per inch, the greater the resolution. ... Pixel dimensions equal document (output) size times resolution.

What is the dimension of a pixel?

PIXEL DIMENSIONS are the horizontal and vertical measurements of an image expressed in pixels. The pixel dimensions may be determined by multiplying both the width and the height by the dpi.

Are dimensions always in pixels?

Pixel Size

The size of an inch is always the same. It's, well, one inch. So, since the size of an inch can't change, the size of the pixels has to change. For example, in order to fit 300 pixels into an inch, you would need pixels that are considerably smaller than if you only wanted to fit 72 pixels into an inch.
