Looking for the best way to reduce high pixel images w/o losing much quality


Recommended Posts

Hello Everybody,

The title pretty much says it all. 😉

Would anyone know of an online site that is pretty good at getting this done - or a way to get this done using one of Affinity's platforms? What I've done so far is coming out pretty pixelated & really isn't looking too professional. Lol. I'm in the process of putting my A+ content together for my puzzle books that I am FINALLY finished working on and I need to reduce the size of some images down to around 300 by 300 px, and similar.

Any and All assistance would be More than appreciated! Thank!

WB

You can only reduce the pixel count by throwing away information! Why not simply output at a high DPI/PPI setting?

You have just asked me a question that's above my 'knowledge pay grade' my friend.

If that's a suitable remedy for what I'm trying to accomplish here, please fill me in on how I go about doing that. I've just started doing my YT research on it so maybe I'll trip across how to make that happen, but no luck thus far.

Thanx!

"high pixel images" vs "300 by 300 px"? - although I don't know what resolution is high pixel images for you, but such a resolution reduction is not possible without "pretty pixelated". Why such a drastic reduction in resolution? Pictures this small fit on my watch display!

This world of pixels and resolutions is all pretty foreign to me. All I can say is that the covers for the books that I have created in Affinity are all 8.5 in by 11 in, which translates to roughly 2635 px by 3375 px or so. KDP requires images to be considerably smaller in size in order to include them in their A+ Content displays. Anywhere between 1000px and 300 px for the most part. So that is all I can tell everybody because that is all I know. Lol. I'm just trying to find a way to reduce the size of my images to what's acceptable w/o them looking so crappy once they're uploaded to Amazon.
