Question

Exporting graphics for the Web - why do they always look bitmapped??

This has been bugging me for a long time now and I'm ready to reach out to a commuity of people who really know Illustrator. I have been a website designer for many years. But I rarely use Illustrator. I've started using it to create name + image sort of logos to put in the top banner of websites. 

 

I am frustrated because it seems like I lose so much quality when I export for screens. I really notice a bitmap or fuzzy edge. Is it just me noticing something no one else would? 

I need to use JPG or PNG. These are all Wordpress sites so using SVG isn't an easy option. And I don't want it to be. I just want a JPG or PNG that looks good. I for sure am exporting at a 1x scale. 

Any ideas? I feel like I must just be missing a simple setting. Has anyone else experienced this?

What is the right way to export a logo from Illustrator to use in a space up to 100 pixels high as a JPG or PNG? 

Thanks in advance for anyone's help!!

Hi there,

 

Sorry about the delay. I totally agree with the point raised by Monika. PNG at 100PX won't be crisp, however, you may try the suggestions shared on this page ( https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/how-to-save-high-quality-images-jpegs-pngs-from-illustrat... ) and let us know how it goes.

100 pixels just is not very large.

PNG and JPG are raster images, so you have to expect pixels.
