AffinityBrah Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I need exactly a 2:1 ratio. I have an artboard set to 2000px by 1000px. Place my vector image in this artboard to export as PNG. When I am on the Export screen for PNG, it changes to 2001px by 1000px. ?? So I change the dimensions in export window back to 2000px by 1000px. I export and it comes out as 2000px by 999px?? Why can't Affinity Designer export things in exact dimensions. I made sure nothing was surrounding the Artboard that would effect dimensions.

Why should the X and Y matter when it is just the dimensions I'm worried about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderings Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Can you show everything from document setup to export settings? I just did a test in Designer. Made a 2000px x 1000px document. I placed a file, exported it as PNG and placed it in a new document. Size was 2000px x 1000px. The PNG export dimensions were locked and made it exactly the document size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should the X and Y matter when it is just the dimensions I'm worried about. As others have said, your Preferences determine how many decimal places are displayed. I suggest at least 3 for px measurements (even more would be better in some cases): Why do you need to worry about the X/Y coordinates? Because that's the way the program works, and (apparently) the way Serif believes it should work. The Snapping options you use are important to ensure that objects (including artboards) end up with integer X,Y coordinates and width, height values. You generally want Force Pixel Alignment on, and Move by Whole Pixels off. And you want to make sure not to override snapping by holding the Alt/Option key while moving or duplicating an object.
