Comic Sizes for Tapas & LINE Webtoon

I've just started posting my first webcomic Alien Yonkoma and I've been having difficulty with the size settings. I tried my best to make sure that the size of the strip should fit the Tapas standards but for LINE Webtoon I had to split up my comic to fit LINE Webtoon's size standard which was very difficult for me.

I wanted to use 100/150 dpi since I recall that lower dpi is good for web while high dpi is good for print. But the comic strip looked too small and the text was unreadable in the low dpi so I used 300 dpi for the strips.

What is a suitable size for a comic strip for both Tapas & LINE Webtoon? I wanted to first save the strips in a high dpi for print and use the low dpi for posting online.

Keep web files at 72 dpi. You make the viewing area "bigger" by having larger dimensions.

The easiest way to do this, from your original file (which should be at 300+dpi), go to resize your image. Change the dpi to 72 first. Then change the horizontal dimension to the requirement (940 or less in Tap's case).

As for splitting up comics for Line, if you have Photoshop, there's the slice tool that can make it easy.
Here's Fany's tutorial on that.
