Beginners' Questions Pixelated png when exporting svg

    Hey guys,

    so my issue is that I have created a Logo in inkscape. 

    But when I export it , it will always have those pixelated edges. Like the png attached.

    So I tried the following:

    1. use a bigger font size (400)
    2. export with  high resolution (1500 dpi)
    3. use the best antialising in inkscape

    So far, even if I increase the export resolution of the png, I cannot see any difference.

     

    Do you have any advise for me to export my Logo without pixelated edges?

     

    Thank you:)

    Did you post that image from a screenshot, for example using the windows snipping tool, whilst it was open in an image viewer ? 

    I noticed that  the default windows 10 application 'Photos' does show a lot of pixelation when zoomed out.

    I have attached two images, both created using the windows snipping tool. The orginal png was exported from Inkscape at 1500dpi.

    The are at a similar zoom level. The windows photos viewer is pixelated, the png in the web browser ( brave - based on chromium ) is smooth.

    hello inklinea,

    thank you for your fast reply.

    I think this photo was directly exported from inkscape. So you mean that windows photo viewer displays the logo pixelated, even if its in high resolution?

    That would explain my misery.

    I use Linux and Windows 10, on both I use a free viewer (for personal use) called XnViewMP

    https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/#downloads

    I find it to be excellent with batch conversion, exif stripping , cropping etc. 

    There are other options such as Irfanview https://www.irfanview.com/  for windows, which I used to use.
