Resolution all comes down to the number of pixels available.

For instance, let's say you download an image and it's 50" X 50" at 72 PPI has 72 PPI X 50" = 3600 pixels available each direction . To make a good print you'd like to have 250-300 pixels per inch (depending on viewing distance it could be even less) 3600 pixels /300 PPI = 12 Therefore you could make a good 12" X 12" print.

Example 2) You download an image which is 20 X 20 at 150 PPI. 150 X 20 = 3000 pixels
3000/300 = 10 inches
