Why is my image blurry?

Navigating the Blur: Understanding Image Resizing and Its Impact on Clarity

Resizing an image can lead to blurriness, whether you are enlarging or reducing it. For instance, a 300x300 image contains 90,000 pixels, but if you reduce it to 100x100, it only has 10,000 pixels to represent the same data, resulting in a less sharp and clear image. This is a common occurrence regardless of the resizing method used. When reducing image size, some images may appear better than others, depending on factors like colors, lines, text, and models.

Mitigating Blurriness

To minimize blurriness during resizing, consider the following strategies:

  • Use High-Resolution Originals: Start with the highest resolution available to ensure quality is retained after resizing.
  • Software Tools: Utilize advanced software that offers superior algorithms for resizing, such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.
  • Sharpening Filters: Apply post-resize sharpening filters to enhance image clarity. (BetterUnite main campaign images are applied with various filters to improve quality when displayed, including sharpening effects when necessary).
