Title: PNG is saving fuzzily
Post by: SashaHoneypalm on March 25, 2019, 08:01:11 PM

I don't know if this is Beyond The Basics or a stupid newbie question, so sorry if I guessed wrong.

Anywhoo- when I'm saving an SVG file to an uploadable copy, I generally use Cairo PNG because I read that it preserves image quality well. And usually it does. But tonight, I keep trying to PNG-save the picture I spent all day working on, and the copies are all coming out a bit pixelated. I don't know why it's acting differently than usual. I don't think I'm doing anything different.

Cairo PNG is not the same as a normal PNG image. Use 'File > Export PNG image' for exporting. The Cairo option will be removed in future versions, because many others found it confusing, too.

I've been busy this week and forgot to some back here, so belated thank-you.
