High res PNG pixelated and blurry in after effects

Question

Hello! I have a 168px x 48px After Effects file, and when I place a png of the same dimension it's pixelated, and then when I post a png of double the pixel width it's still blurry. The viewing resolution in After Effects is set to Full so it's not that. I don't know what to do!! Thank you!

You are viewing the pixels at more than 700% magnification. The comp is not pixelated, it's only 168 pixels wide and 48 pixels high.

Here's an image that is about the same size: .

This is what the data looks like in Photoshop:

PPI only affects the printed size. Resolution is the number of pixels. Your comp is very low resolution. Video is only pixels; the PPI or DPI setting has nothing to do with video. If you want a bigger image, you'll need more pixels.
