Exporting file for best web quality?

Tags: #image #jpeg #pdf #website #export #indesign

Hey guys,

 

I was working on a magazine spread and I tried exporting it for web as a jpeg, but the text loses its quality...so I re-exported it as a pdf and the image loses its quality despite chosing maximum res...I want my text and my image to stay high res when i upload it on my website..how can I do that?

 

PS: Jpeg version opens fine on my computer and gets blurry when i upload it to the website.

 

Thanks in advance!

Pri

    Maybe you should give us some more information on waht you are really doing. Any rasterized text is going to lose it's sharpness at a resolution suitable for your website.

    Hey Peter

     

    Here is a link to my website.

     

    http://preetisampath.com/Check_Work.php

     

    As you can see the text in the first three images is blurry and disappearing but its sharp and clean on my desktop.

     

    Does that explain more?

     

    Thanks

    Web designe is a bit outside my area, but I think your expectations for text in a web image are a bit unrealistic.  You really can't put three columns of text into what looks like about 200 pixels of width and expect to read it in a browser.

    You ALWAYS lose quality in rasterized text. Compare the quality of the text inside the picture frame  on the page to the "Check Work" text above. That text is very large compared to anything on the gallery pages you are showing.

    I figured it out. Now I can upload  full res images without losing res. Thanks anyways!
