1. I created an a logo for use in many different applications. I am now trying to take this bigger logo and shrink it to make it usable on a web page. 3. I don't know let me check 4. I am using File -> Export Just to be clear, I am a software developer not a graphic artist or expert user certainly possible I am doing something wrong. But my test that I posted above produces the same results I get with my logo. Thanks, lai1

Hi Telemax, It is blurred even at 100% in the navigator pane. Thanks lai1

Hi MEB, I'm not sure that what you suggested is what is actually happening. I performed a small test. I created a 1200px x 1200px .afdesign file then added two layers they are both circles one smaller than the other (inner circle and outer circle) both 4 pt strokes and saved it, exported a .png file and closed it. I then reopened and selected the document button and changed the canvas height and width to 100px and in the navigator pane the image is once again blurry. I also saved a .png file and when I used it the website it is indeed blurry and less crisp than the original 1200px image. What I think might be going on is the re-scaling that happens behind the scenes does not shrink the stroke size enough to match the reduction in size that is taking place. I can't be sure it's just my guess, either way it would be nice if the image stayed as crisp and clean when being reduced. Hopefully this experiment helps with finding a solution. Thanks, lai1

Hi Alfred, I figured out what you meant and I attempted it. I opened my .afdesign file which is 1200x1200px and selected "objects will rescale" and resampling is set to "bilinear". When doing this I can immediately see that in the navigator pane the image is blurry at 100% while the original image was crisp and clean which is also the case when using the .png file on a website. I can attempt to perform the power of two method you suggested seems there should be a simpler way, I'm no expert so I'll defer to the folks on the board here. Thanks, lai1

Alfred, Can you please provide a step by step on what you are suggesting and I will attempt it and report back my results? I would appreciate that. Thank you, lai1

Hi BofG, It is definitely not as crisp as the 1200px image when exported as a .png file. Additionally, when I reduce the 1200px afdesign file to 100px the navigator pane renders it blurry while the 1200px afdesign file it is crisp and clean. I do think I am doing something wrong. Thanks, lai1

Hi, I have an .afdesign file that is 1200px x 1200px. I would like to reduce it to 100px x 100px and then export it as a .png file to be used in a website however, when I do this the image on the website is blurry. What is the correct way to take an .afdesign file and export the desired size in pixels? In this case I want a 100px x 100px .png file. Thank you, lai1

Hi, I was wondering how to print a box around the border of the transparent background in Affinity Designer. Suppose I have an image (layer) and I have it just inside of the transparent background, I want to be able to see how much smaller the layer image is relative to the image size. Is there a setting when printing that will allow me to print the transparent background with an outline? Thanks, lai

Thanks v_kyr for the app suggestion and to everyone here for their help, appreciate it!

Hi Geoff, That was the intent, to produce an image that is 3.5" x 3.5". It prints the correct size when I print .afdesign file or if I print it from a Mac. When I print it from Windows the image is much bigger than a standard 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper causing the image to be cut off. Sounds like a Windows thing... Thank you for your help. lai1

Hi John, I do not have a professional photo app. If I open the png on windows in paint the size is 1100 x 1100 and dpi is 96. If I open the image on a mac in preview the image is 1100 x 1100 and resolution is 300 dpi. So maybe it's Windows? This is very confusing. lai1

Geoff777, Yes it was set to 1100 x 1100.

Hi, I created a new document and set the size to 1100 x 1100 pixels (~3.5" x 3.5") and resolution to 300 DPI. I created a few layers and printed the image and it looks great, the size is correct. When I export the *.afdesign file as a PNG and go to print the image it is much larger than 3.5" x 3.5". How do I maintain the same image size and resolution when I export the afdesign to a PNG? Please advise. Thank you, lai1
