I have a raster image which I have opened in QGIS 3.
These are the steps I follow: Right click on the image -> Information tab
Information about the image is displayed, which shows:

Unit   meters  
Width    10980  
Height   10890  

Now I want to know what does this unit,height and width mean? Also, can i convert this Unit into pixels?
I want something of this sort:
1028 x 720 pixels
I am new to QGIS, please explain me what does the above mean also what does the conversion mean? Along with the conversion steps.screenshot_of_my_information_tab

    Have you read the part of the QGIS documention about raster data? – Erik 20 hours ago

    Manual in docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_raster/… is not perfect really. Width and Height tell the size of the image in pixels. Unit, together with Pixel Size that you find a bit lower, tells the size of the pixel in ground units. So it pixel sixe is 2, -2 and unit is meters, then the size of a pixel is 2 by 2 meters. -2 as the y-size of a pixel means that y-coordinate is decreasing from top to bottom. Please explain us what do you mean by "what does the conversion mean"? – user30184 20 hours ago
  • Here size is mentioned in meters . By conversion i mean if it is possible to convert it into pixel. For e.g: size= 1078 x 927 pixel. – jiraiya 4 hours ago
