Video transcript

The pixel size of a JPEG file is not fixed and depends on the settings used when the image was created or saved. JPEG images can be of nearly any resolution, from a small thumbnail (e.g., 100x100 pixels) to large, high-resolution photos suitable for printing (e.g., 4000x3000 pixels). Check your image's properties to find the exact pixel dimensions.
