I'm assuming 1kb is one kilo-byte (kb means kilo-bit, kB is kilo-byte).
In an uncompressed image like BMP or TIFF, 1 kB is 1024 pixels for monochrome, 341 pixels for RGB color, assuming 8-bits per color. If you really mean 1 kilo-bit, divide the answers by 8.
For a compressed format like JPEG, depends on the quality factor of the compression and the number of tonal variations, thus no definitive answer.

When we look at a digital picture displayed on a TV or computer or smart phone screen, the image that we see is comprised of a gigantic number of glowing specks of colored light. Each speck glows red, green, or blue, and each will be at a unique brightness. These super small specks are the tiniest fractions of the image that can convey intelligence. We call them pixels, which is short for picture element.
Now digital imaging is a paint-by-numbers system. Each pixel is assigned a numerical value. This number value tells the display screen how to display each pixel as to color and brightness..
All digital systems work using the simplest of counting systems. We learned to count on our fingers, and another name for finger is digit. However, the modern computer is not too sophisticated; it counts using only two digits. These are the zero (0) and the one (1). The computer receives and manipulates and transmits numbers using this simple method called a binary system. Binary means two.
In binary math any number can be written. For example the number 6 is transmitted as 0011. The number 190 is transmitted as 1011 1110. The computer transmits the number 190 by sending 8 digits in two groups of 4 digits. Each digit is called a bit. These are transmitted in a group of 4 bits called a nibble. The computer then pauses and then transmits the second nibble that comprises the binary code for the number 190. The two nibble transmission is called a byte.
Using this binary code any number between 0 and 255 can be transmitted. Again a single digit is a bit, 4 bits in a group are a nibble, and 2 nibbles make a byte. The byte can transmit 256 different numerical values
The digital picture is made up of countless bytes. These set the brightness level of each pixel that comprises the digital image.
You are asking how many pixels in 1 kilobyte? A kilobyte = 1,024 bytes. Now 1024 ÷ 4 = 256. Using this logic, the data from 4 pixels can be transmitted by 1 kilobyte of data.
However, you should know that this is complicated stuff. I call it gobbledygook. You might do yourself a favor and study digital math. Such knowledge will do you well in this digital world.
First crop your image so it is square. Do this with the PPI set to 300 and the Save As a new file name with has SQ in it so you can later find it. All the photo programs I have used has an option to resize your images. Make sure that the box, constrain proportions is checked and then insert the the height number you want. You will have to experiment with this to get the total image file size of only 200 kb. If the image is still too large, the 1000x1100 pixel size may have to be reduced. Save this new resized image so you do not overwrite the originally cropped image file.
I spose you should look @ 8k projectors as an example, 8184 dots per pixel is about it's.res, you could go back to an 80's mainframe code where a 128 different shapes were available for use in the pixel, it's a lot lot more now.
If 15 girls rode a bus from Hamshire then 6 got off at Baconville, what is the name of the bus driver?
That's how silly your question is. KB is a measure of filesize while pixel is a measure of resolution.
Two completely different things. A file size number has NOTHING to do with a pixel count in a photo.
1kb is the file size, not the number of pixels. Prachi, joined Y!A today, 0 answers, 1 stupid question.
