i'm sure we will have this issue at some point you have a very
cool-looking profile picture or banner artwork
and then you go to upload it to facebook or twitter
and it seems that you're viewing it after
a few bottles of beer
i'm going to show you exactly how
to save images and upload them to
social media without them being blurry
if you take a look at my social media for
example you will notice that none of my artwork is blurry
we will first be looking at how to set up
your documents what dimension to use as
well as document types. from there you
look at how the artwork should appear
before you even think about exporting
to social media and finally how to save
and export your artwork from photoshop
to social media
today we're just going to be looking at photoshop
as a means for fixing blurry images
for social media
There are so many different opinions online for this subject
I am simply going to show you what works for me and
what I've used in the past I've added a
link in description shows dimensions for all
the banner artwork relevant social media sites
each social media site uses
different dimensions for the banner artwork for example
please refer to the link
also you can find templates online too
to start the process and how to fix blurry
images in Photoshop for social media you
should want to make an RGB document
saving your images for web as apposed to cmyk for print
for banner artwork have just shown you
that each site has different dimensions
but for profile pic you want to have no
less than 500 x 500 pixels
But I choose to use eight hundred for good the measure
the standard PPI for web use is 72 of PPI
for web but most commonly
people use 72 PPI
one very important factor you must keep in
mind for having perfect social media artwork
is that the original artwork must
be high quality before you even think
about exporting it. this means that you
if your artwork is blurry now, you have
zero chance of it being sharp and crisp
the other end to achieve high quality
artwork beforehand you should need to be
working on the artworks with a high PPI
canvas before moving it to the final
canvas for saving a banner for example
also you can make the artwork in
Adobe illustrator with vectors which will ensure
the artwork is crisp and sharp throughout
once you have your work on the canvas
you can view it that one hundred percent here
how you're looking at right now
would be the best possible quality you
can hope for once you save the image in
Photoshop and export into social media
final section on how to export your artwork
in photoshop and not having it blurry for social media
is exactly that, how to export it.
I first like to
flatten my artwork in photoshop
once you've done that you need to head up to file, export
and save for web
this window here should appear
if you have a logo with just block colours and no gradients
you should select PNG eight if your
image contains artwork with things such
as drop shadows and gradients choose
PNG 24 some people would suggest that for
photographic profile picture to use
defects and it can work but i still
prefer these png24 this is because indeed
a lot less compression format and
compress images without any loss of
quality something Jake does not do here
you can also having a transparent
background for social media this is not
what we're going to need you can get
that
and finally you can check here and how
the final artwork is going to look once you export it
check for any errors or dips in quality
when you upload your
png image to social media it should
not be blurry
if you have taken into account everything i just said you will have a
crisp and clean design
recap quickly use the correct dimensions to in
social media banner artwork
profile pics are square should be no later than 500 x
minus pixels the Congress should be an
RGB mode you are work needs to be shot
before you even think about exporting it
and you must use the graph format and
saving trail
