I created a simple logo for my friend using the shape builder tool and plain text, and text typed on a path. I convertted everything to outlines. Then I exported my artwork as png files and when I opened them, they were pixelated. I have tried making sure the anti-aliasing box is checked, my artboards are set at 72dpi, I saved for web, exported for screens, nothing seems to be working. I have tried saving different file types and all are pixelated. Please help.

    Two great solutions so far.


    This is a worthwhile read, so get an understanding of raster vs vector. https://www.psprint.com/resources/difference-between-raster-vector/

     

    Finally, determine what is the final size you wish to have the logo at and choose export for screens.

     

    This way you'd be able to control size, etc

    PNG files are made of pixels. Be sure you judge quality at 100% size, never zoom in to check; pixels just get bigger so they pixellate.

    Try saving as SVG.
