Set specified dimensions for web ad

[Whitney]

I need to create a 3.5 x 3.5 web ad with these requested dimensions: 252
pixels at 72 dpi x 252 pixels at 72 dpi. I can get the 252 pixel square, but
I'm having trouble with the 72 dpi. The ad will contain an image that I can
currently only get down to 96 dpi by using the "Change Picture" button. Any
help would be most appreciated.
Thanks!!!

If you export at 96dpi, then you will get a file that is 252x252 pixels.
Web ads are measured in pixels only; the DPI settings make absolutely no
sense.

Does it make more sense if it's 72ppi instead of dpi?

Still no. The number of pixels in the advert, and the size of the image
when rendered at a 1:1 pixel ratio on screen (i.e. 100% zoom) will
remain completely unchanged no matter what dpi or ppi is associated with
the file. Image editors can change the number, but I can't see what
difference it could possibly make.
