Images gets smaller in size and quality while importing

Hello everyone,

I recently noticed importing images into Adobe XD using import command or drag and drop will make the images half it's size,

like 1920 x 1080 px will get imported as 540 x 960 px and scaling it up will lose quality.

 

is there any other way to import? to keep the original size

thank you

using Adobe xd  37.0.32.10

Your image is JPEG (not PNG). Try exporting to PNG from Photoshop and import.

Hi, Yes thank you. it got fixed and imported as correct size. but what if I use Jpg files? there is no way to have JPG files imported the same size?

thanks again.

Personally I think XD should not do this. I don't underhand the logic behind it.

I just noticed the problem does not happen to other files not edited by photoshop, like screenshots!

Drag and drop but it will triger the same code for placing image. Can you share the image file to test. What kind of file is your image?
