"Ppi" in image files is a source of endless confusion.  It's best to
simply ignore it.  The only thing it actually does is set default size in
some but not all print layout programs.  Changing ppi from 300 to 72, or
the reverse, does *nothing*.

What matters is the number of pixels, and the quality of the pixels.  So
if you're worried, make the image as small as you you're willing to have
people look at it, and use as high a jpeg level as  you're willing to have
people see it in.

On the other hand, most people who think web-resolution versions of their
images have any commercial value are delusional, too.
