Computer monitors only show up to 72 dpi, so that isn't the issue. What are you saving your avatar as? Gif?

Re: why is my avatat so grainy???

your avatar is currently a GIF. I wonder if when you upload it the site converts to GIF since you said yours is a JPG?

Post Re: why is my avatat so grainy???

If you're saving it as a JPG, you're probably saving it as a low quality JPG, and then if this site-forum is changing it to a GIF, it's just making the quality worse.

You should be prompted to choose a level of quality when saving a JPG, (in general) choosing one of the higher quality levels will only result in a larger file size and is only meant for printing purposes, not on screen viewing ... for on screen use, a medium level to low-mid high level JPG is sufficient.

Images for the web are meant to have a resolution of 72 ppi (pixels per inch).
