Illustrator changes size of the image when you paste it

Question

I have a PNG file (310x150 px, 96 ppi). When I pasted it into Illustrator it changed its size to 232,5x112,5 px. I assume that Illustrator has converted its resolution from 96 ppi to 72 ppi, that's why the size has changed.

I've noticed it only after the last update and can't say how long it exists.

Is it possible to fix? I wish the size of the image stays without changes.

My current Illustrator version is 24.2 (64-bit).

"When you create file you choose from 72, 150, 300 ppi, can you change it after the file was created and where can you see this settings?" That is the document raster effects resolution. You can change it under the Effect menu. It only affects raster effects (drop shadow, inner glow etc.). It has no effect on the resolution of images you place in Illustrator.

The higher the resolution, the more pixels are put into an inch, the smaller the image.Compare these images with the same amount of pixels but with different resolutions (ppi: pixels per inch).
