any way to enlarge webpage pics for printing?

I'm trying to do a craft project (personal use only) but can only find pictures I want online, so obviously they are jpegs with a low resolution, so no good for enlarging purposes.

Is there any way round this - or any trusted sites that offer higher quality (free ?) pictures?

Thanks:)

Have you tried including 'hi res' in your search?

What's available depends on what you're looking for as well.

Irfanview is the best free enlarging software out there, but it still won't make a 100pixel picture look good at 10x8"; you have to be realistic.

What is the pic you are after. If it is a graphic, may be able to get a vector graphic (this allows you to enlarge to any size without quality loss)

Hi. Thanks for all the suggestions. I've had hardly any internet connection since I posted, so apologise for the delay in replying to you all.

I managed to sort something out in the end in Paintshop Pro.
Basically from the Resize option I ticked the 'Advanced Settings' box to keep the original size when I changed the resolution to 300 dpi.
I ticked the 'Resample' box using 'Bicubic'
and the 'Lock aspect ratio' box.

It seemed to work enough for my needs as the picture was quite basic with little detail.
