I saved this file as a png in illustrator , don't understand why my logo is so blurry. It doesn't look clear to me, what am I doing wrong? Is it something to do with how I'm saving It?


Visit my site and you will see on the top left the logo blurry and not a high quality resolution.

Rawad,

In addition to what Ned said, you have to decide (or be told) the final pixel x pixel size first, and then create the PNG at that exact size (or potencies of 2 larger). Otherwise, the resizing will make a mess.

Alright I will try that Jacob, thanks.

Edit: I just created a new document that is 160px by 40px. Placed my logo on that document and saved it, yet It's still blurry .

Rawad,

Have you ticked Type Optimized or Art Optimized? These options are hidden away in the Image Size window in Save for Web.

It just occurred to me that you might use Export instead of Save for Web. If you do that, you should set the Resolution to 72 (not 300, 150, or whatever else) to get the right size; and apply Type Optimized or Art Optimized in the options.

If you are resizing the image from its actual size then it is likely to lose clarity.  Based on downloading the image it appears you might be enlarging it slightly on the web page.

Nope I'm not enlarging it at all, I'm just saving the image how It is as a png and it's coming out blurry.
