Hi,

Very puzzled here.

I made a YouTube profile image exactly to 800x800px.

Tried to upload both Jpg and PNG but still it looks blurred.

Please help me what I am doing wrong. You can compare how crips the text on my screen compared to my image .

Import and export

An 800x800 pixel image made from a vector-based original will be only so sharp. Certain steps can be taken in the design process to make the resulting image look sharper. That would involve sizing and positioning parts of art elements to line up with the pixel grid. That could be making the baselines of letters line up with the pixel grid or even sizing the letters where both the baselines and cap height lines align with the pixel grid. Various horizontal and vertical lines could be aligned with the pixel grid. Line strokes could be made where they're exactly one or more pixels wide. Obviously only so much can be done to make artwork pixel-perfect. Any curving lines will have visible aliasing.
