no no no.

the image uploaded has its own dimensions : xxx pixels by xxx pixels.
that's all.

I understand that you use gd to add text to this image.

if the image is large enough to be printed correctly, just add your text
on it (do it by envisaging for the text an adapted size) then
dimensions of the new image, created by gd, will not have changed.

but, the best you can do is to test yourself :

upload an image 250 px by 400 px (300dpi or 72dpi, we don't care) ;
do your job ;
download the new image ;
see what happens
