Under the image there should be a set of numbers in the form "NNNNxMMMM." This is the size of the image in pixels.

See the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images § Size for further guidance on expanded or reduced image sizes. Except with very good reason, do not use px (e.g. |thumb|300px), which forces a fixed image width measured in pixels, disregarding the user's image size preference setting.
