Answer 1

JPG is a Pixel format that doesn't really know physical dimensions like Dots Per Inch.

All you can do is write a dpi value into the file's Metadata as assistance for further processing, but it's just a recommendation and it can't be done using the GD library.

You would have to use an third-party library for this. See e.g. the second answer to this question: How do I add exif data to an image?
