Does the DPI have any affect on the size of a saved JPEG?

Example: If I have a JPEG file that is 800x600 and 72 DPI will it take less storage space than an 800x600 300 DPI image?

DPI stands for "dots per inch", which lets you know what the pic's resolution is going to be. It is not a file type like JPGs are. So a 300 DPI image is going to take quite a bit more space than a 72 DPI pic because there is a lot more info in the file.

Good luck!

DPI does not affect the size of a file. Only the number of pixels affects the size. An 800x600 JPG has 480000 pixels irrespective of the how many of those pixels are displayed in an inch.
