Question

is there a way to set illustrator to save a jpg at different ppi without changing dimensions?

Hi, I am trying to export to JPG with a final desired resolution of 150 but keeping my dimensions the same. example: 6 x 6 inch square art is set up in illustrator, but when I save to jpg at 150, it becomes 12 inches. Yes, I understand why, but...

 

Is there a way to keep it at 6 in while getting my resolution to read 150?

I need to have that resolution show in the file info/in the metadata, and I'm sick of doing math for more oddly sized things!! Thanks!

You can use Export for Screens and use a Resolution for Scale.

nope, here's what happens. at 100% i get a 6 inch swatch, but the resolution is 72.  doubling it won't work either.

I did try that with resolution selected. And it changed the pixel dimensions.


I understood that was the question:
