Has anyone had the problem of when you upload an image to Shopify it becomes blurry?

The image before uploading is not blurry- 300 DPI- correctly sized.

This also could be compression by Shopify.  Example FACEBOOK compresses all graphics uploaded as they know some users do not live in areas with high speed internet.  Thus, with graphics on Facebook they can look blurry or pixelated at times (it has gotten better).

Theoretically, when you are uploading images to Shopify they could be compressing the images as well.

I looked on Google and discovered that you are not the only person facing this issue.

Thus, I would not imagine it is anything that you are doing wrong... just that Shopify really compresses their images and that can make them fuzzy.

This image is scaled. Your brawser is not a good program to downscale image

Best option is prepare image exact size - without scaling on web page.

Be sure your image is 100% displayed on page
