The file size is the sum, expressed as the number of bytes, of all the files that are used to store the raster. In other words, it is the amount of storage space used on your HDD, SDD or Cloud Drive to store a raster. The grid size is the number of cells in a raster, usually expressed as the product of the number of columns and rows.

ArcMap. Cell size of raster data. The level of detail (of features/phenomena) represented by a raster is often dependent on the cell (pixel) size, or spatial resolution, of the raster. The cell must be small enough to capture the required detail but large enough so computer storage and analysis can be performed efficiently.
What are the advantages of raster data? A raster grid format is a data model for satellite data and other remote sensing data. For raster positions, it’s simple to understand cell size. Map algebra with raster data is usually quick and easy to perform. Overall, quantitative analysis is intuitive with discrete or continuous rasters.
In the example below, if the raster is in a Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projected coordinate system and has a pixel size of 100, the pixel location at 5,1 is 300,500 East, 5,900,600 North. When you need to specify the extent of an image, the extent is defined by the top, bottom, left, and right coordinates of the rectangular area covered by the image, as shown below.
In its simplest form, a raster consists of a matrix of cells (or pixels) organized into rows and columns (or a grid) where each cell contains a value representing information, such as temperature. Rasters are digital aerial photographs, imagery from satellites, digital pictures, or even scanned maps. Data stored in a raster format represents ...
The size of each square pixel, known as the resolution or support, is constant across the grid. Raster or gridded data may be the result of a gridding procedure. A single numeric value is then stored for each pixel. For most images, this value is a visible color, but other measurements are possible, even numeric codes for qualitative categories.

Raster data, in the field of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), is a type of geospatial data that is represented in a grid or a matrix format. It comprises pixels or cells, with each pixel having specific geographic coordinates and a value that represents a particular characteristic or attribute. Raster data is majorly used to represent ...
