usmanshahzad Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 So i created a new document with 300 DPI and simply typed my name to test the quality, it looks just fine in the affinity designer but when i export it to PNG it is very small in size and very bad quality even though i set it to 300 DPI? I have tried on the latest stable and beta versions, what am i missing here? myrrhine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 19, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi usmanshahzad, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Why 300dpi? Do you intent to print the document? If the image is to be used on screen there's no need to set it up to 300dpi. It's the pixel dimensions that matters. What's the size of the image in pixels?

usmanshahzad Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 I have tested it on 72dpi so thought of increasing it to see if it changes anything, image size is 300 x 70 px. I have just tried exporting JPEG and the size increases to 500kbs on 72dpi and yet the quality is still very very low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 19, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi usmanshahzad, There's more than one thing here that may be affecting the quality of the text. Can you post your file (you can delete everything else, leaving just the text) so i can check what's going on?

usmanshahzad Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Sure, take a look at the file, maybe there is something wrong with the settings. usman_logo_source.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 19, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 19, 2015 Apart from the 300 dpi which are not necessary if you're using the image on a web page, the export from your file is exactly the same as Affinity is showing. You can only compare both images with the zoom level set at 100% in Affinity. This is because raster images (your jpg) is resolution dependent and will not scale up without loosing quality (it will start appearing pixelated). On contrary the text created in Affinity is resolution independent (vector based) and can scale up indefinitely without loosing any quality.

bootsgal Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 hi, i've been having same issues lately. I'm making a logo 100x100pxl size, png and when i export the file instantly the logo loses quality. when I'm working on program there's no such problem. i've already tried changing dpi's from 300 to 72 but there was the same result. what problem could that be?

Hayavadhan Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The issue currently faced by many seems to be an issue with the display settings in OS (Windows in my case) and not affinity designer . To solve this.. please set your scaling to 100% in the Windows display settings. Open the png in the browser. Hope this works. Please refer screenshot. It would be really helpful if mac users tell us how to dko the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macs do not have OS level custom scale settings like Windows does. System Preferences > Displays > Display tab has an option to set the screen resolution to a default (determined by the display's native resolution) or scaled to any of the resolutions the display reports it can support, but other than some 'zoom' settings available in the Accessibility System Preferences, there is nothing else.
