Tagged: #JPG #text #resolution
I have created several 800X600 px images that contain only text. Issue is when I export them to JPG at 72 dpi they look terrible – really pixelated. I have to increase the canvas size 2000 pixels + to get the text looking crisp.
Where am I going wrong? I need 800x600px JPGs to work alongside the same size photographs. It’s for my photo website, not for print.
Please help!
I have a Mac 13inch retina laptop
I’m not sure what version of InDesign you’re using. But I know that prior to CC jpeg export from InDesign is terrible.
The best option is to export to PDF – open that in Photoshop and then save from there as jpeg using File>save for web.
I don’t know why InDesign has not got this feature. Frustrating!
