Let me get this straight PPI is pixels per inch right? So if i reduce my PPI the image becomes more pixelated or what? How can i get more resolution if i have a LOW resolution and a High PPI? I don’t understand. I know that a higher PPI means a higher pixel density but doesn’t that equals more pixels?!? thereforE a larger X Y Resolution, i don’t get it

PPI is pixels PER INCH so the total number of pixels still vary based on the screen. Let’s say you have 6 ppi. On a 1 inch screen this will be 6 pixels. On a 2 inch screen you’ll have 12. So increasing the screen size will increase the resolution and make the screen bigger.
I think one of the things your missing is that pixels aren’t all the same size, it depends on the resolution and size of the screen. If you have a 4k tv and a 4k phone, they will have the same number of pixels. But the pixels on the phone will be smaller, so it will have a mother ppi. so the tv will be more pixelated than the phone. BUT, your eyes might not be able to notice it. You’re meant to sit further away from a tv and your eyes probably won’t be able to tell the difference.
