In VistaCreate, you can easily download your designs in high definition. Although, this feature is only available for VistaCreate Pro plan users.
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.
