OK. Do you understand the difference between text objects (which cannot exist in PNG files) & bitmap images (IOW, pictures) of text objects (which can be part of PNG files)?
No, I don’t unfortunately.

How did she send you this? Was it a PNG file or something else? If it was a PNG it did not have text in any font, just a pixel bitmap.
It was a PNG file. She told me it’s easy to change the size of the tag by resizing it. She showed me some examples and they looked fine in her pics so I think she’s using Photoshop instead.

Someone created the tag for me. I asked her what font she used. If I know the name of the font it might be easier.

If you want to achieve perfectly sharp text, there are better options, as other users already commented.
- Keep the text as text layer, and do all resizing and positioning with text layer. Do not raster (until export)
- Ensure text layers are positioned on exact pixel positions (no fractional / decimal), use transform panel
- Check the pixel dimension of a single letter. It will become blurry if going below ca. 100px.
-
Deactivate anti-aliasing for text layer. Adjust Coverage Map.
This still requires a reasonable text size and can’t solve 8-16 pix size, as letters could become to blocky to read.
please have a look at the tutorial:
“Check the pixel dimension of a single letter. It will become blurry if going below ca. 100px.”
The height of a letter is 30 pixels. If I go with 100px or bigger, the watermark would be too big. I don’t know what you mean with the other suggestions since I’m kinda new to Affinity and English isn’t my first language. Can you explain in steps like on which buttons I have to click in Affinity and perhaps with screen shots?

Basically what I did is add a tag to the picture. The tag is a seperate PNG file and when I put it on the jpg picture and save it as PNG the tag looks blurry. For example the tag is “Google.com” and 1500 x 1500 pixels. When I resize it to 60% and add it on the picture and save the file as PNG the image seems to look fine but the text “Google.com” looks blurry.

Hi, I’m facing the same issue. The text on images look blurry when I export them in PNG. Can someone help me out? I do not want to switch to another photo editor because I really like Affinity.

I managed to resolve the problem… I downloaded XnViewMP to tag the pictures instead
It’s much easier cause now I can tag the picture all at once.
