The PNG file of sticky notes that I "Copy as PNG" are fuzzy and changed in color on Google Slides

FigJam Bugs

I right-click on a sticky note to “copy as PNG” for my presentation use, but when I pasted the image to my Google Slides, the quality is low

I checked the Figma tutorial about this and was told that exporting PNG wouldn’t reduce the image quality.

OK NEW INFO: I learned that the image’s low-resolution might be a problem of Google Slides; when I pasted the exported PNG to PowerPoint, the resolution was ideal. I think Google Slides compressed the image, but can I go around it? Thank you!

Please see the images below comparing the colors:

What’s the size of the image you are copying? I think Google slides accepts images up to 1600px so if you have something 800px or larger — it may be compressed by GS (copy as png 2x-es the image, add png export setting at 1x to copy at 1x).

Thanks so much for your reply, Gleb! The size of the image is quite small too, ~550k, which I learned from pasting to a PowerPoint and “Save as image,” since the PND doesn’t allow me to create an image file directly. I also noticed the change in color tone when pasted to Google slides too; not a problem when pasting the PNG to a PowerPoint or Keynote file.

The vibrant and pleasing colors of FigJam is a big plus, but it got lost when pasted to Google Slides…:confused:

Just added images :slight_smile:

I was talking not about the file size but about the image dimensions (in pixels).

The color issue is a different topic. You may be able to fix it by switching the color space in the desktop app: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039825114-Color-management-in-the-desktop-app

Ahh, thank you for reminding me! The image dimension is 956 × 1277 (after I pasted it to PowerPoint and then saved it as an image on my Mac).

I changed the Color Space as you suggested, thanks for the pointer! However, the color still looks very different in the Google Slides compared to pasting it on PowerPoint. I now think it could be Google Slides issue?

These image dimensions should work fine, not sure what’s wrong in this case.

I now think it could be Google Slides issue?

I’d say it’s a bit of both Slides and Figma issue. And I don’t know how to fix it.
