  • SHARED SIZE is the amount of space that an image shares with another one (i.e. their common data)
  • UNIQUE SIZE is the amount of space that is only used by a given image
  • SIZE is the virtual size of the image, it is the sum of SHARED SIZE and UNIQUE SIZE

Note: Network information is not shown because it doesn’t consume the disk space.
