The default picture resolution in word is 96 dpi, and if the inserted picture resolution is not 96 dpi, the size of the picture will change.

How to view picture DPI:

Image - right-click - property - select summary in pop-up window

If the picture resolution is not 96 dpi, we need to convert it through a formula:

We need to enter 312% in the scale.

Pictures - size and position - size - scale - modify height and width
