Question

I am facing problem creating a PNG from EPS

The logo in the Header at the top of every page on my sister's website is actually a 800 x 427 px PNG, but was resized in the page builder by the original developer to 275 x 147 px, which is the size it is being displayed at. The unscaled PNG image is here.  (I'm no longer in contact with that developer).

I want to create a smaller (116px high) version of the logo.

If I insert the PNG logo that is in the header into a webpage and then scale it down in the page builder to the dimensions I want, it looks great, as shown on the test page here.

If I create a logo of same height by creating a 427px high PNG from the original EPS (Logo.eps, which I've attached to this post), upload it to here and then scale it in the page builder to have a height of 116px, then it looks better still, as shown on the same test page – which proves there's nothing wrong with the EPS file I’m working form.

But if I try to create a PNG from the EPS with the dimensions I actually want (116px high) and upload that to a webpage – rather than creating a much larger PNG and scaling it down in the page builder – then the resulting PNG looks blurred – as shown on the same test page.

Yet the the smaller PNG looks sharp in Photoshop; and if I insert it into a Word document, or an email, or into almost any other application it still looks sharp – but if I insert it into a webpage it looks blurred. 

Even if I create a PNG from the EPS of the same size (height 147px) that the logo in the Header is displayed at, and upload that, it still looks blurred – as shown on the same test page. And yet as I said, if I create a PNG with a height of 427px and scale it down in the page builder to the height I want, then it looks very sharp.

But I should be able to create a PNG from an EPS with the size I want and use that. I shouldn't have to upload a much larger PNG and scale it down in the page builder.

Any idea why I'm having to insert a huge PNG and scale it down in order for it to look sharp – and why I can't insert a PNG of the correct dimensions? Is there something wrong with the way I'm creating the PNG from the EPS? I've tried dragging the EPS into Photoshop, telling Photoshop what dimensions I want it to have, setting the colour mode to RGB, and then selecting File > Save for Web. I've also tried Saving for Web directly from Illustrator, with even worse results. 

If there's nothing wrong with the way I'm creating the  PNG, then is there a better workaround than the one  I've come up with, of uploading a much larger PNG than is actually required and scaling it down?

Hi ​@kilvar, I can’t seem to access the EPS or PNG files you uploaded with your post. Can you try again to attach them in a reply? I’m thinking you might want to open the EPS in Illustrator, convert to an AI file, and then export for properly scaled and sized logo files as PNGs. Is the website built on WordPress or another platform?
