In VistaCreate, you have the option of downloading your designs in high-resolution formats. Keep in mind that the format you choose doesn’t affect the image quality. Image resolution indicates the size of a picture measured in pixels, while quality refers to image properties such as color, brightness, saturation, etc. Therefore, no matter what resolution you choose, the quality of VistaCreate’s templates and visuals will remain high.
If you want to download your design in high resolution, opt for one of the following formats:
#1. JPG
JPG is one of the most popular file formats and works best for digital designs. Most of the social media content and images you see online are JPG files. However, due to the compression that happens when you save a file to your computer or smartphone, JPG images may lose quality. So, don’t use this format for designs you want to print. We recommend opting for JPG only for digital use.

#2. PNG
PNG is a common image format that guarantees a higher quality upon exporting your design. If you need to save your design in high resolution and avoid compression, choose PNG. It’s also the best format to download designs with an opaque background, such as logos. To do so, choose the PNG Transparent format from the list.

You can pick a print-ready design in our editor, customize it, and immediately send it for print. Visit this page to learn more about VistaCreate’s printing functionality and which print formats are available in your country.
Note: PDF Print is not as web-friendly as JPG or PNG, so if you want to optimize your print design for web and socials, use VistaCreate’s Rezise tool.

Note: before optimizing your designs, make sure all images are 300 dpi or higher to ensure they will not be pixelated after resizing.
