    Hello!

    Can anyone help with exporting my svg as a rasterised image with no compression or antialiasing?


    I have a basic svg image i've been working on. I'm attempting to use that image as a mask in adobe substance designer, but the svg rasteriser in substance designer seems to be rubbish and wont let me set the resolution. I've given up on this and i thought instead i might just pre-rasterise it in inkscape.

    So now i'm trying to export my svg from inkscape in whatever file format that will not compress, or anti-alias the image. I need the colours (i've only used 4 or so) to be precise. I've found alot of random instrruction online and youtube but they dont seem to work. My current gripe is with the 'Document properties->Render->Use antialiasing' - as inkscape doesnt seem to care what i do, it keep re-tickign it and will antialias the image regardless. I thought my best bet was with tiff or png (with antialise set to 0 and compress off) but no dice.
    People online hasve suggested the export as feature in inkscape doesnt work - so they've suggested instead i uncheck antialiasing, and save the svg, then open it in gimp and play games in there by removing the transparent background and all sorts of things....

    from what i can see in gimp at least,, after either exprting for saving as svg, my image does infact appear to have an antialis affect using the transparency layer, which i assume is the forced antialiasing method from inkscape.

    I created the file originally in illustrator a few days ago, before i realised how rubbish illustrator is.(i wont be going back)
    My svg file is attached. I'm using windows 10, its a fresh install of inkskape 1.3.2.

    That is possible during the export dialog is open by clicking the cog-wheel and setting Antialias to "0":

    I had to open it in microsoft paint to be sure though - as the default image browser in windows was 'interpolating'??? the pixels and making them blurry but the colours were correct.

    but attached is what i managed to achieve after exporrting as png with the settings descxribed thankyou.
