His intelligence, articulacy, and progressive values made our presidency the envy of many, the world over. I felt very proud to become an Irish citizen during his tenure, and wish him & Sabina the very best in retirement! 🇮🇪

Sorry, just trying to be helpful, as it doesn’t sound like they know what they are doing! When you resize in a separate programme, try focusing on the final desired image size in the first instance rather than the resolution. That might help you get the result you’re looking for.

… from a publishing POV (DPI is only relevant for printing). Are you re-sizing an original image of a lower resolution and a smaller scale, and trying to upscale it? That might cause the problem you describe.

Ok, but just to note if it’s to be viewed online the images don’t have to be 300 DPI (this resolution will also make the file v v large). You’d only need that resolution if it was being printed, and then images would usually be provided separately. Those instructions don’t really make sense…

I know this isn’t exactly what you’re asking, but wondering why you need 30 x 300 dpi images in a Google doc? Most images of high resolution are best handled by design/publishing software, not by Google docs or MSWord. Neither cope well with large images.
