I can’t get my drawings to be saved as images in high quality, ive tried both jpeg and png, did all the alterations that should make it not compress itself, followed some tutorials to the tea, but it didn’t do anything. Here’s an example of what happened to a pixel art ball i did.

I use Krita 4.4.1 by the way. Anyone know how to fix this problem or why it happens?
If you open it in Krita, is it still blurry or rather it’s pixel art? I suspect the second, which means, the image is fine, it’s all the image viewers that are not expecting pixel art and are scaling it up using wrong (smooth) algorithms. You can save your pixel art for internet sharing for example by scaling it up yourself (of course first save your .kra file in the original version): Image → Scale Image to a New Size → then make sure to use the filter “Nearest Neighbour” and use “%” instead of “px” as units, and use for example 400% or other number (must be divisible by 100). Then export to png and see if it works better.
Yea, it was the latter. that seems to have resolved the issue. Thank you!!! :]
Did you answer using chatgpt? I am sorry to ask this but this answer seems a bit vague, there is no Settings > Configure Krita > General > Document section.
This is also not good suggestion as it is okay to resize as long as you choose correct scaling algorithm.
Also, points 1,2 and 5 are not correct.
Hello @alberto65 and welcome to the forum!
I have the impression that you are new to the world of Krita and digital art, otherwise I can’t explain such answers, unless they were created by an LLM, as @raghukamath already suspected. It seems to me that you still have a thing or two to learn. Starting with not only reading the headline thoroughly, but also thinking carefully about the answers yourself, as well as having tried out the proposed solutions yourself beforehand.
This post is about pixel art, often small and tiny images.
And if I wanted to start with a large canvas, then I should do this immediately when creating the image, i.e. in the dialog after CTRL+N or after “File” >> “New”, after that you only change it if you run out of space contrary to expectations, and if the canvas was much too large, then you crop it to give the image a “suitable frame”.
PNG is always in the highest quality, by definition.
And so on. Well, somehow you seem to have put your foot in your mouth here.
I hope you see this as an incentive for the future and not as a reason to withdraw.
