Question

Export losing quality even using PNG and 2X higher

I am trying to use Figma as my main software to produce my designs.
But my frames are being exported with a bad resolution from Figma.
Exporting as PNG and even using 2X is not getting the full resolution as I see on Figma.

Anyone with the same issue?

@Gleb I’m preparing logotypes for the site in 1x and then exporting them in 3x for retina displays and phones. All logotypes are initially bigger than the exported size so there is enough resolution for crisp images and before today everything worked fine, 3x images were crisp. But today I noticed they are a little blurry. 

Image above is logotype exported in 3x from figma, image below is the same logotype upscaled in figma 3x first and then exported in 1x. As you can see the size in pixels is the same for both images, but the first image looks blurry and the second image looks crisp.

I expected that the first option (exporting in 3x) should give me the same result as the second (upscaling 3x and exporting in 1x) and it did before. What am I doing wrong now?

I actually found the solution myself. I’ve inspected export settings for previous logotypes and found out that Image resampling there was set to Basic while for the new ones it was set to Detailed (I never used this parameter before). I’ve set it to Basic for the new files and the quality is great again.

Maybe this will help somebody else too.

Yeah this is a new setting, for logotypes indeed it’s better to set basic than detailed. Detailed works better for photos.
