Hello!

Here is my problem.

I am importing large bitmap, duplicating and resizing it to a few smaller formats, then exporting them in jpeg/png.

And my images looks very soft and blurred.

There is a huge difference if i resize it in photoshop. Can i fix this issue?

Thank you for your help.

What is the original size of the bitmap, and what is the smaller size you're exporting it at?

In general, if you have a very large image and you shrink it down a lot, sharp edges will become blurry.  If you resize an image in Photoshop, there are special resampling settings you can use to (partially) counteract this with sharpening.  However, Adobe XD is not focused on manipulating pixel data so it does not have these options.  I'd suggest using Photoshop first to do a higher-fidelity resize, getting the image roughly into the target range you'll be using it at, and then import that resized image into XD.
