Exporting work

[Josie]

When I start a new document and put 3.3 inches in affinity designer for my design to work on it, but then when I export it it says 900x900 pixels when I opened it up as 3.3?

to put it on my print on demand site and so on.

please help me figure that out.

thanks

You can’t specify inches on export. A digital image consists of pixels, and the size in inches will depend on the DPI/PPI setting used when sending it to a printer or other output device.

A 990 px × 990 px image printed at 300 DPI will be 3.3″ square.

So when I put 3.6 x 3.6 inches for my canvas in affinity designer it puts 4.0 x4.0

why is that when I want 3.6 inches?

[Alfred]

It’s just a display quirk. It will say 4 x 4 in on the home screen but if you choose the ‘Resize’ option on the Document menu you’ll see that it’s still the 3.600 by 3.600 that you originally set.

Also when I try to change the font size in affinity designer using my iPad it doesn’t work when the objects and background are grouped.

[Josie]

When all the text is grouped and not just one single word.

It works when I put the canvas in 1080x1080 but not 3.60x3.60 on my iPad.

please help
