Main page Resolution One reason why images you see on the Web look less than perfect is because of resolution .
Resolution refers to the sharpness and clarity of an image.
The more dots per inch, the clearer the picture, and the more detailed the picture can be without any blurring. Computer monitors display images at 72 pixels per inch. Make sure all images you use on your Web site are 72 pixels per inch. On most image editing software, the resolution is changed on the same screen where you can edit the image size. Therefore, certain details in paper photographs will not display properly on the Web.
