Hi,

I create infographics on photoshop for web but when i export to png i always have some image that are pixelated, not clean and sharp.

For the info i creat my infographics in 72 ppi resolution, i tried in 300 ppi but trhat didn't change anything.

I have the same problem on illustrator.

Do you have a solution ??

Thanks.

Hi!

I think this article about the Pixel Grid might be helpful to you: Seamlessly align your artwork with the pixel grid...

First of all, you need to completely disregard the ppi number. It is irrelevant on screen/web and does not apply. Pixels per inch only applies to printing on paper.

It sounds like you have a retina/UHD/4K/high-density display. In that case, most image viewers and web browsers will automatically scale the image up to 200%, so that it displays at the same screen size as on a traditional display. This is the standard industry workaround for making it work with both high density and traditional displays.

This is a clean pixel doubling, so that four screen pixels are merged into a block to represent one image pixel. In other words, the high-resolution display is turned into a low resolution one. So yes, there is pixelation.
