[Closed] Affinity Designer - Exporting a Hi Res Image

Hello

Before I start I must state I have no idea what I am talking about.

I have recently designed a shop frontage for a Client.  I did this on Affinity Designer.  The Client now needs the signage section only (i.e the bit with writing above the front door) sent to her web designer for use on her website.  This section of the drawing on screen is about 300x1200 pixels on the original Affinity file.  When I look at it in Affinity it is razor sharp quality.  However, when I export it as an image filetype that I think the web designer might be able to use I am losing image quality and it becomes pixelated.  Help!?

I don't know the program (and I'm not design savvy) but looking at the Affinity product page it should have an export option for SVG which I believe is a vector format developed by the World Wide Web Consortium; your web designer ought to be able to use this.

Thanks PJay.  I managed to resize the section I wanted to 10,000 pixels wide and exported as a JPEG - it seems to be a lot better quality.  I expect, however, that this is not the proper way to do it.  I will look into the SVG format.

Yeah.  Don't do that.  Export it as a vector as PJay says.
