I created an image inkscape and saved it as a png file. The image is for a mobile phone game and is displayed at a larger size than what it was created at. (About 1.5 times larger than the original size). When the image is displayed it is blurry. Is there a way to save a ".png" file so that it will not be blurry when displayed at a larger size?
I notice that whenĀ I save the file in Inkscape that I get several options which I do not know which might fix this issue. Does anyone have any ideas how to prevent the image from being displayed blurry?
For example:
Interlacing Bit Depth (Default is RGBA 8) Compression (Default is (6-Default Compression) pHYs DPIĀ (Default is 0.0) Antialias (Default is 2)
Scaling up a raster imageĀ adds extra pixels soĀ the colour of each new pixel must beĀ estimated somehow. Some algorithmsĀ are better than others butĀ blurring is inevitable. To avoid this, theĀ pixel count in your exported png should match that ofĀ the target device. In the Export dialog you can set theĀ height or width of the image in pixels. (Setting one automatically sets the other for square pixels.)
Scaling down an oversized image discards pixels but visually the image usually appears sharp.
The png file specifications allows several ways to encode colour information. TheĀ settings aboveĀ can be used if your target application requiresĀ a specific png variant, but the default values are adequate in most situations.Ā
