Digital images have a sizes in pixels. Best to think in pixels.
For example, if you want to print an image 6"x"' at 300dpi then you an image size of
(6x300)x(4x300) = 1800x1200 pixels.
Scale the image to that size.
Web pictures have sizes in pixels. Determine this size and then scale to suit.
Also consider aspect ratio.
A 6"x4" print has an aspect ratio of 6:4 or 3:2. Other aspect ratios can be 4:3, 16:9, .......
Determine the required aspect ratio. Your original image will probably have to be cropped to suit. Probably first crop, then scale.
Keep an original untouched copy of your photos.
