matt.baker Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 The DPI field on the export dialog is limited to 1024, but the document DPI can be much higher than this (32-bit signed integer) - for example, 2540. If you set the export to use the document DPI it works as expected. I appreciate DPIs above 1000 are unlikely to be used in normal situations, but if the document supports it, so too should the export (if technically possible depending on the output format). Unfortunately I have to use such a high DPI in certain circumstances because Affinity doesn't respect the document units during export to SVG and always goes back to pixels... By setting the DPI to a multiple of 254, I can get the accuracy I require in the final export dimensions. As a side note, I've noticed that increasing the document DPI above ~32'000 messes up the document dimensions. A corner-case, but could be better handled.

Staff DWright Posted July 24, 2023 Staff Share Posted July 24, 2023 With exporting as a SVG file as these are vector based the DPI is most commonly set to 72dpi and this will keep the dimensions correct when open with another program.
