View image dimensions from Safari

Today I found out how to get an image file's dimensions from within Safari, and I thought I'd share. You'll need the Debug menu enabled.

  1. Load the image into its own window (or tab). If the image is embedded in within a document, control- (or right-) click on it and choose "Open Image in New Window."

  2. Go to the Debug menu and select "Show View Tree." Option-click on the disclosure triangle next to the only visible line.

  3. The last row of the "Width" and "Height" columns should tell you the image's dimensions.
If all you need are the dimensions of a current image, this will save some time over the "drag to desktop, open in photo application" process.
