Also, be sure to click on advanced options, this lets you save a thumbnail, and you can choose to save as the best quality there too. You then have to chose file/export within GIMP, being sure to change the file extension to a jpg. Basically I feel it works best to create/export your png, then open the png in GIMP.
(hope that makes sense, I'm not the best person in explaining technical things, but you can do a search on these forums and read some really good explanations on the threads.).Īnyway - I use GIMP to get the jpg and it works great a lot of us use it, as it's open source. So, bottom line, you have choices and need to know what your desired outcome is in order to choose the correct dpi for the png. Now, for me, I have to send large files to my microstock sites, so for me, instead of the usual 96 size, I may need to choose 250 to get a big enough file to sell. The 300 dpi is what is needed when printing, but when exporting the dpi size would be 96 (used to be 92) in order for the png to end up at the same 100% size that you exported from Inkscape.
There have been many debates over that issue.
Re exporting size: the larger dpi when exporting gives you a larger file, but not a higher resolution. I agree with Moini that the png retains the better quality (which is why it is a larger file size).
