kbobala Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi, I have a problem with very poor quality in designs exported to JPG or PNG. Tried all of export options and it didn't made much of a difference. In Designer it look very sharp, after export it is all blurry and pixel. Any Idea on how to make design look as good as they do in Designer? Sample in attachement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPest Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 You need more pixels. What canvas size is it in Designer? Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 12, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi kbobala, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Your images (from Designer and the exported one) have probably the same appearance when viewed at 100% zoom but you are showing them at different zoom levels in your screenshots. Besides that in Affinity Designer you are working with vector objects which are resolution independent so they never lose quality no matter how much you enlarge/zoom them, while when you export to PNG or JPG (those are raster formats) the vector data is rasterised to an image composed by pixels which is resolution dependent (if you enlarge or shrink it, it will become pixelated or blurry depending on the settings you chose on export and if you are enlarging or reducing it). You can easily check this, setting the zoom level in Designer to 100% (menu View ▸ 100%) and doing the same in Apple Preview (go to menu View ▸ Actual Size). Both images should look the same. If you zoom in in Designer it will continue showing you sharp lines, wherever in Apple Preview the image will become more and more pixelated, because of the reason i explained above. So the simplest way to ensure you get the same appearance as you see in Designer (when viewed at 100% zoom) is setting the document dimensions (in Designer) to the same size as the image you want to export. Alternatively you can export the image with the dimensions you need entering them in the Export dialog in Designer in the Size input fields ( menu File ▸ Export). What's the size you need for the exported image?
