How to View Photo Size on iPhone without Application
Still talking about iPhone tutorials, in this article I will share a method. That is how to see the size of photos on iPhone without additional applications. Read more below!
Now maybe you have a lot of pictures in your photo album and you want to see what size each of them is.
Every image taken by a camera or created by an application must have different sizes and dimensions.
We can call the information contained in the file Meta Data. Yep, a file, whether in the form of an image, video, document or audio, definitely has information about the file.
We can see this information in detail using existing applications or features smartphones. Like Android which can see the size of photos in the gallery.
So the problem is that the iPhone doesn’t provide a feature to view photo sizes in the default photo gallery application.
In fact, this is a very important feature because there will be many needs later, such as uploading to social media, editing and maintaining the iPhone’s own storage capacity.
But don’t worry, now I have the solution. You can see the resolution and size of the photo without needing to install the application from the app store.
Not only photos from camera shots, you can also see pictures from Google and iPhone screenshots using the method I will share here.
But before going to the tutorial, here I will discuss a little about the differences in photo size and resolution, it’s good to add a little to your knowledge.
OK, let’s get straight to it, here is the explanation.
What is Photo Size
The size of a photo describes how many pixels are stored in the image. A smartphone camera usually has a choice of 3MP, 6MP, 12MP to 108MP.
The larger the MP number you choose, the larger the file size will be.
For example, I took a photo using an iPhone 7 plus with a resolution of 4,032 x 3,024, the photo got a file size of 2.1MB. (see information in the bottom image).
What is Photo Resolution
According to Wikipedia, image resolution describes the amount of image detail stored. Image resolution can also be used to define digital images, videos, etc.
Examples of commonly used photo resolutions:
- 720p = 1280 x 720
- 1080p = 1920 x 1080
- 1440p = 2560 x 1440,
- 4K or 2160p = 3840 x 2160
- 8K or 4320p = 7680 x 4320
How to See Size on iPhone without Application
Because the Photos application on the iPhone does not display photo meta data information, so we need to move the photo file to Files first, after that we can see the size and resolution of the photo. Curious about how? Just look at the tutorial below.
Here are the steps for checking photo size on iPhone:
- First open the gallery Photoselect one of the photos that you want to see the details of the photo.
- Next press the button Share which is in the bottom left corner.
- Several menu options will appear, please select an option Save to Files.
- So that you don’t forget and find it difficult to find the photo later, it’s best to just save the photo on the first page (On My iPhone). Press Save to save photos to file manager.
- Now open your iPhone’s File Manager. Look for the photo you saved earlier, then press and hold the photo until the menu list appears.
- After the menu list appears, please just select the option Info.
- All photo info will be displayed in detail. Starting from:
- Type of photo
- Photo size
- Date created
- When was it last modified
- Last opened
- Where you took the photo
- and Photo dimensions.
The following is an example of checking the size and resolution of a photo on an iPhone that I took in front of the computer.
Application for Viewing Photo Sizes on iPhone
One iPhone application that can be used to view the size and resolution of images is “Pixelgarde“. This application allows users to view the image size in pixels, as well as providing information about the image resolution, including PPI (Pixels Per Inch) and DPI (Dots Per Inch).
Apart from Pixelgarde, there are also other applications such as “Image Size” And “Photo & Picture Resizer” which can also be used to view the size and resolution of images on iPhone.
Application “Image Size” allows users to check the image size in pixels, file size, as well as providing information about image resolution, such as PPI and DPI. In addition, this application can also be used to resize images easily and quickly.
Whereas “Photo & Picture Resizer” allows users to check image size in pixels, file size, and provides information about image resolution, including PPI and DPI. The application also has an easy-to-use image resizing feature, making it easy for users to adjust image sizes as needed.
In general, there are many iPhone apps that can be used to view image size and resolution, depending on the user’s needs and preferences.
The final word
That’s how to see the size of a photo on an iPhone. It’s just that easy, you don’t need to install the application from anywhere, just save it to the file manager and see the data info.
Oh yes, the method above is not only for viewing photo descriptions, you can also view the size of photos and videos on your iPhone.
So, now that you know how to check it, please look at the photos and videos where you want to see the size.
Hopefully this simple tutorial helps.
