: Inkscape export format I have some vector objects created in Inkscape and I am exporting them to a png files. I am using the exported images in another program. The problem is, that even though

@Kevin459

After researching this issue, I found this similar question on SO (incorrectly posted BTW).

The accepted answer was:


I would actually export it as a SVG open it with Gimp, do additional
stuff if required and then save it as a PNG using Gimps save for web
function.

The PNGs exported by Inkscape have jagged edges/no antialiasing/funny
background.

This is a problem with whatever you use to view these PNG
files, not with Inkscape. For example, Internet Explorer prior to
version 7 cannot show PNG files with transparency properly. Use e.g.
Firefox to view your PNGs. If you absolutely must support IE 6, you
can't have transparent background in PNG; change it to opaque in
Document Preferences and export the PNG file again. Also, you should
look into using Dean Edwards' IE7 Library: It fixes many CSS issues
and makes transparent PNG work correctly under IE5 and IE6. If you
want to open the exported PNG bitmaps in MS-Word, you will also have
to change the alpha-opacity (in document-properties dialog) to full,
and then export -- the result will be much better.
