What Pixel Counter does, with a checked example
Drop an image onto the page and this tool reads the pixel dimensions stored in the file, multiplies width by height to get the total pixel count, reduces the ratio to its simplest form, and reports format and file size. Everything happens locally in the browser, so the image never leaves your machine. The thing people most often get wrong: total pixels is a pure function of the dimensions, not of the file. A tightly compressed JPEG and a bulky TIFF can hold exactly the same 2,073,600 pixels; the count tells you nothing about quality, sharpness, or how much disk space the file occupies.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
A 1920 x 1080 PNG file, dragged onto the page.
->
Expected output
Total pixels: 2,073,600. Dimensions: 1920 x 1080 px. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Format: PNG.
1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600, and dividing both dimensions by their greatest common divisor (120) gives 16:9, the standard full-HD ratio. The file size shown for the PNG is read from the file itself, since disk size cannot be derived from dimensions alone.
