: Inkscape settings for a high resolution avatar I am a one-day veteran at Inkscape, making some avatars/profile-pics, and also a complete nitwit concerning graphic design. I want to end up with

All pixel measurements, including resolution, before the "export" step are merely
helpers for one to have an idea of the size. They are not binding to the final image size in anyway.

If you want 1024x1024 or 2048x2048 png files, before the export step, make a square selection around your subjects, and on the export screen mark the "custom" tab, and type in
suitable x0 and y1 values, and wiodth and height values so that your "custom" image area is square.

tehn type the desired output size in the "width/height" fields of the "bitmap size" section - watch as the DPI setting adjusts automatically - no need to change that.

That is it - just hit the export button.

If you need precise pixel alignment for some color boundaries, inkscape can really provide that, as the shapes are anti-aliased at their boundaries when rendering the output. Open the resulting image in GIMP, and find way to harden your edges using the colors' menu (for example, posterizing, or using the curves tool) as you need.
