Trying to change DPI from 96 to 72

Post by retrosportsgamer »

A site I'm working with requires images at 72 DPI only. How do I change a picture I have that is 96? I have MS Paint and google is not yielding anything. Thanks in advance for your help.

In Photoshop:
Edit -> Image size
Check mark "constrain proportions".
Uncheck "resample image".
In the resolution box type "72".
Hit Okay.
File -> Save.

If it is a website, the DPI doesn't matter, only the pixel dimensions. DPI is related to the capabilities of one's monitor, and more so the quality of detail when printing something. If you have a few things that truly do need the DPI changed PM me and I'll do it for you.
