Images lose in quality upon import ing

Troubleshooting
1

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed that when importing an image, it tends to lose in quality. this happens when the image is copied and pasted into Penpot, or imported from a local file.

Basically I like to take website screenshots for inspiration and paste them next to my board. But if I zoom in on the image, the drop in quality is clear. Looks like a lossy compression is done to the file when loaded in Penpot.

If I download the media from Penpot back to my local drive, the image resolution hasn’t changed, just the quality.

Has anyone else noticed this ?

Hello,

I have the same issue. Large images uploaded to PenPot are pixelated.
Is there any solution to this?

Same experience here - I posted about this back in March as well Raster images have a lack of pixel-level visual accuracy

Hoping for a solution or pathway forward, but understand there are potential limitations currently.
