Hi AndyMane,

Welcome to the forums

I've opened your document 'untitledhelp' and I can see your design is currently 360px x 360px. When exporting an image to this size, unfortunately it's expected for text elements etc to appear pixelated. As you are exporting to a size smaller than full HD (1920 x 1080) there is only so much space for pixels, and this can cause compression in the image and appear pixelated. Equally, when using FX adjustments these are rasterised on export, but this does not change much here as you're exporting to a raster format already.

I recommend exporting as a JPEG file, using 300DPI (this is set in your Document Setup), preferably at the largest pixel size possible (based on file size etc) and with the 'Resample' option set to Lanczos 3 Separable.  

May I ask why you are exporting to 360px x 360px specifically?

Thanks for confirming that, I certainly recommend increasing the physical dimensions of your document before exporting it, as the larger the pixel size of the final image, the higher quality the image will appear.
