Resolution is pixels per printed inch (cm, mm, etc). Open a program like Paint.NET and resize an image. When you resize the image, change only the the resolution. Note that the pixel width and pixel height (which is what you see on your monitor) does not change. The print size changes. If you have a 800x600 px image, if you change the resolution in an image program, it will still always appear 800x600 on your monitor. (
Dots per inch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
OOTP already stores the file in PNG format, which is the best commonly used image format for lossless compression. You could have an option to use JPG to decrease the filesize further, but the cost is that it degrades the image. Plus anytime you open a JPG and edit it further, you degrade the image further.
What you're asking to do in getting a "higher resolution" can be done currently. Just make the cards twice as large and increase the font size and other elements. So that's not really a feature that's needed since it can already be done.
