It's a font measure meaning "point." There are 72 points to an inch.

No its not, in the context of Keynote point is an Apple created formula related to pixels. Why they have used that instead of pixels is unknown.




how do i resize the image in mm?

In Keynote; Keynote > Preferences > in the Rulers Units drop down menu select; Centimetres

There is no millimetre option.
