How to get the width and height of an image ?

Last Updated : 24 Jun, 2019

Given an image and the task is to get the width and height of the image using JavaScript. The width and height property is used to display the image width and height.

Syntax for width:

var width = this.width;

Syntax for height:

var height = this.height;

Example 1: This example selects the image and then use this.width and this.height method to get the width and height of the image.

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
      
<head> 
    <title>

        an image using JavaScript 
    </title> 
</head> 
  
<body style="text-align:center;">

        <script> 
            function CheckImageSize() { 
                var image = document.getElementById("Image").files[0]; 
                createReader(image, function(w, h) { 
  
                    alert("Width is: " + w +  
                    "pixels, Height is: " + h + "pixels"); 
                }); 
            } 
  
            function createReader(file, whenReady) { 
                var reader = new FileReader; 
                reader.onload = function(evt) { 
                    var image = new Image(); 
                    image.onload = function(evt) { 
                        var width = this.width; 
                        var height = this.height; 
                        if (whenReady) whenReady(width, height); 
                    }; 
                    image.src = evt.target.result; 
                }; 
                reader.readAsDataURL(file); 
            } 
        </script> 
  
        <input type="file" id="Image" /> 
        <input type="button" value="Find the dimensions"
                            onclick="CheckImageSize()"/>
