# How do I show file sizes under icons in Finder?

In icon view, press **Command-J** to open View Options and tick **Show item info**. Finder then shows extra details under each icon — sizes for files and item counts for folders, and dimensions for images.

For sorting by size, List view with Calculate all sizes is more useful.
