maparizeau Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) HI, Ok here are the specs of my document : resolution : 5000px x 3000px resolution of my design : 2335px x 2394.7px dpi : 300 vector base design When I am at 100% zoom or more, everything is smooth and clean. When I zoom in, starting at 90% and below, it's start to get pixelated. Also, when I export my image in its actual size as a PNG, for example, everything look fine. But if I export it at 500px x 300px it sucks big time! I even tried exporting it at 2500px x 1500px and it's still pixelated. How can I make sure that my design doesn't get pixelated? Thanks, Edited May 12, 2021 by maparizeau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other than a drastic reduction in quality after a tenfold reduction in resolution did you expect? 58 minutes ago, maparizeau said: How can I make sure that my design doesn't get pixelated?

I did expect some reduction in quality... but not to look like it came out of the 1980 video game era. For example, I have another logo that is 1942px x 1881 px. I downsized it to 673px x 625 px and it still looks great. And, it's only 150 dpi. Mine is 300 dpi! Also, As I mentionned, even downsizing from 5000px to 2500px, it looks fuzzy and starts pixelating! 18 minutes ago, Pšenda said: Export in vector format (PDF, SVG, EPS), or maximal resolution? I can't use those formats. I need it to be in PNG for web use. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPI is completely irrelevant when working with pixels. 1000px is 1000px, whatever the DPI. 57 minutes ago, maparizeau said: but not to look like it came out of the 1980 video game era. 2 hours ago, maparizeau said: But if I export it at 500px x 300px However, you are using a very similar resolution (at that time, the max monitor resolution was 640x480), so similar results can be expected. Without further information (eg screenshot, example files), it will be difficult to advise you in any way.

Staff Dan C Posted May 13, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hi @maparizeau, Sorry to hear you're having trouble! As Psenda has requested above, a copy of your Affinity document, both before and after resizing using your chosen method would help us to investigate this further for you. Can you please upload a sample of these documents here for us? Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
