Size and location of images on Adobe Express

Hoping for a response from someone who works at Adobe:

 

Can someone at Adobe explain how Express users can see the exact size of the image (in inches, pixels, etc.) and where exactly on the page it sits?  There should be a feature by which we can accurately place images and know exactly how big it is without eyeballing it.  Sometimes we need to have an image or logo be the same size across products of different sizes. It is essential to know how big an object really is, and where on the page it is located.

 

Can you please add a way for us to see the real scale (inches, pixels, cm, etc.) of images, and the real location on the page?  Please see Canva for an example of this user experience.  It seems to be lacking from Adobe Express, which makes this a much less useful platform for design. If this is an option, please let me know where to find this function. 

 

Thank you for any information in response to this question.

    Hi @AZDPDX

    You can check the pixel dimensions of your design from the resize command when working in a design and premium members can resize existing designs. We somewhat recently added features for printing but this was targeted for use with a printer provider, we use Zazzle. If you are creating content for printing you would want to ensure your pixel dimensions were appropriate for whatever size you intend to print the design at (typically between 150-300 dpi). If you wanted to create a design for printing at 8.5 x 11 inches for example, you would want to multiply the inches by the intended print resolution. So for 300 dpi, 8.5 x 300 (2550) and 11 x 300 (3300), so a 2550 x 3300 pixel image. If you are preparing content for the web it is usually 72ppi and just ensure you are viewing the design at 100% zoom level to get a sense of size.

    I know we have a popular feature request to add guides and rules which would also really help in this area. https://adobe.ly/4b20WwP

    Please add your vote for this idea if you think it would help.

    Hopefully that is helpful, please let me know if you still have questions,
    Dave

      Thanks for trying to answer.  I am not asking about the size of the design, but about an image placed within the design.  If I am printing flyers, I want our logo to be the same size across designs, and I can't find an easy way to tell how big the logo or any image is within the design.  Does that make sense what I'm asking?  

       

      In Canva, you can see the actual size and on-page position of any image.  In Microsoft products, you can see the Size & Position on any image.  These would be useful features on Adobe express.  Guide-lines would be helpful but not as precise as what we need.

       

      Thanks for trying to answer!
