Outlines get blurry on edges

[Xakiru]

Is there a way to avoid this on the red outline ?

before export:

 

After export:

How I expect it to get exported:

edges.afdesign

Either make the square bigger and align inside instead of outside, or add a stroke (with join set to mitre) instead of using the outline fx.
(I'm assuming the problem, going on your attachments, is that you want a square, rather than round, corner. The reason that you are seeing some antialiasing in your exported image is that the image is very small size with low res.)

Or simply duplicate the rectangle, increase size of lower rectangle by 2px over center anchor point, set color to red.

Note: You can see how the design will be exported (up to a point) by going to Pixel View Mode.

In this case, if you want to get rid of the semi-transparent pixels you can:
1. Remove the Outline Quick Effect;
2. Set the Stroke to Outside and 2px;
3. Change the Blend Options Coverage Map to a flat line. (Put the Coverage Map line at the top of the graph to fill in the whole of the pixels on the corner, as in how you requested earlier.)

See attached image.

You can achieve both – no additional pixels & no rounded, blurred corners – by placing the Outline Effect inside.

Thank you guys for answering my concerns

Yea actually the stroke does that, but it only applies to shapes but not on pixel layers (unless there is something i'm missing)

The rectangle is for the sake of the simplicity of example, I'm talking about the feature that doesn't accomplish what it is meant for.

that's a nice tweak to know, I didn't know about it, but still the stroke don't work on pixel layers

Sadly this doesn't achieve what I'm trying to do, I don't wanna hide details of the outlined image

Apparently stroke has many features, but only works on shapes layers, maybe I gotta live with that until they fix it.

You can use an additional object + layer nesting to enable the wanted workflow and result.

This way strokes can get visually applied to pixel content, too. Also, converting a layer of type "pixel" to an "image" layer might help.

Hmm I can't find this pixel to image conversion, or do I have to save it then import it ?

Sorry. I'm getting confused. (That happens to me quite easily 😄) You attached a file with a shape to your original post, but now you're talking about "pixel layers"!

This option occurs only with a right-click on the object in the layout window, not in the Layers panel nor in the main menu.

Just note, accordingly it always converts to a rectangular shaped image only / thus a stroke will get applied to the rectangular bounding box.
