On this page

TL;DR DPI doesn’t matter

Pixel dimensions or the number of pixels high and the number of pixels wide, is the only thing that matters about digital images.

DPI refers to Dots Per Inch and is used when printing on physical materials.

PPI refers to Pixels Per Inch and is use d to define the pixel density of an electronic display.

Resolution is a vague term that might refer to either DPI, PPI, or neither.
