Then, point to the ruler where it lines up with the right edge of the object, to see the width in pixels.

What is pixel

A pixel is a unit of length that appears to be very roughly the same size on most devices. Typically, it's roughly 1/100th of an inch. It has nothing to do with the glowing dots on your screen, unless you happen to have an older computer that has very large dots on its screen.

To understand exactly what a pixel actually is, one needs to understand what happens when a computer renders a screen, because during that process, different kinds of pixels are involved:

  • Logical pixels
  • Rendered pixels
  • Physical pixels

Shortly: Logical pixels, set as component properties, are a unit of length roughly similar in size on different devices, and not an actual colored dot. Logical pixels are first translated into rendered pixels, and then scaled to actual device pixels, which then may be actual pixels with three different sub-pixels. In reality, this level of fine-grained detail is only provided for informational purposes: All you need to know is that what we call "a pixel" is actually not a physical pixel on a screen. Instead, it's a unit of length that is roughly the same size across different devices.
