CristinaC Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi there, I have had a look around the forum for an answer but have not found one as yet. My question is - how do I make a small logo of 300 px X 300 px for a website retina logo? Each time I try to resize my original logo of 4500 px X 5400 px it becomes completely pixelated. TIA, Cristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pšenda Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Example? Screenshot? Decreasing the resolution is more than tenfold, so loss of sharpness will of course be significant.

Fixx Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Practical solution would be to use higher rez PNG and scale it to desired size using HTML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Each pixel in a raster graphics image (like those in JPEG or PNG files) can have only a single color, so if you try to resize a 4500 px X 5400 px image (24,300,000 total pixels) to just 300 x 300 px (90,000 total pixels) you are basically trying to reduce all the colors of each 270 pixel block of your image to just the color of a single pixel in the downsized version. The result will either be a very blurry anti-aliased version, or a very sharp but very blocky aliased one displaying artifacts sometimes informally referred to as "jaggies."
