Open in Gimp, then Image->Scale Image and change the dpi to 300 or
whatever and you will have to watch the x and y dimensions, maybe adjust
those.

You can't put more information into an image, but the program can guess
(by mathematical formula) how to increase the size of an image

Just read what it says, you can ignore errors if you want, have you tried
that? If you can't psyche it out, ask here. Text overflow is probably the
most common, just increase the text box, or edit and reduce the text to
fit

I don't think so.
