Projects get pixelated when transferred from fresco into photoshop

My projects drawn on fresco with vector brushes always turn pixelated whenever I open them in photoshop. It is the same result when I export in a PSD or PDF and when I just open from the cloud it still turns pixelated once in photoshop. How do I get vector drawn projects in fresco onto photshop and keep them vector?

Photoshop is a Bitmap based app, so you'll always get the pixelations.

If you really must have a smooth edge when zoomed in above 100% consider exporting to Illustrator.

Note - (Unless there's been an update to thed) Vector from Fresco will become Shapes in Illustrator, but you'll still have the nice smooth edges.

I did a couple of test circles in Fresco in a document 1080px square, handily named Untitled.... 

 

I scaled up a black circle and also drew a vector circle in Photoshop to compare. I also increased the zoom to 310% and they are both pixelated at the edges. At 100% view, as for an Instagram post for example, both circles would look perfectly fine. Ultimately, zooming in greater than 100% will result in pixelation, like this below. Are you seeing pixelation at 100% or at greater zoom?

I am only seeing it when I zoom in more than 100%
