Hello, first you need to use an image processing software; if you don’t have one, you can download "The Gimp", for example, it’s free.
You will need to go to image processing, resize, and choose the value you want. But the result may not necessarily be what you expect, because often a web image is low resolution (it’s the number of dots per inch); if we enlarge it excessively, the image becomes “pixelated,” meaning small colored squares appear that are not visible on the screen but result in a poor outcome when printing. To give you an idea, an image that is 1152x864 pixels is roughly 29.7x21 (A4 format) when printed.
Beyond that, the image will progressively degrade as the size increases.
