Exporting/ Saving problem

When I save the image the image become pixelated and fuzzy for some reason. I have changed the resolution and the saving setting but the same thing keeps happening. when I'm in Photoshop it the image looked clear and clean but the second I upload it or open outside of photoshop it's pixelated; it looks like I zoomed into the image. I never had this problem until I switched over to Creative Cloud, at first I thought it was where I was uploading the images but it's not. But I also thought that it could be the fact when I open an image in Photoshop the image looks way smaller than it actually size, even when the percentage on the left of the image is at 100%. But i dont know it that is a factor of the problem.

This is just the same old story...

Retina screen > Photoshop displays 100% > other Mac apps scale up display to 200%.

Shayspice, Photoshop displays the image correctly on your high resolution screen. The others do not.

You should know what size and resolution image you have.  If you do not menu Image>Image Size will open the Images size dialog that information will be set into the dialog

It looks like when you exported the image you scaled it up in size. Try exporting it scaled 100%.what you posted shows two different crops the composition is not the same in both images. The exported image is at lease 200% the size of the other image.
