Pixels have no size until you choose a DPI
An image of 1024 × 768 pixels is 0.79 million dots of colour and nothing more. It only gets a size in inches when it is printed, and that size is the pixels divided by the resolution: 1024 ÷ 300 = 3.41 inches wide at 300 DPI. On a screen the DPI stored in the file is ignored; the image takes up 1024 × 768 of the screen’s own pixels.
