: Why is my PNG icon fuzzy when I reduce its size in Photoshop? I downloaded an icon in png format. Now I try to resize it to 20x20 pixels using Photoshop CS5. This causes it to become fuzzy,

@Goswami567

How i thought it is just too small for the logo to get sharp edges anymore, i would suggest using a icon font such as Font-Awesome for this small icons!

EDIT:

here is a example of what i mean:


128x128 px


20x20 px

Don't trust the Navigator panel, trust your export.

The Navigator panel is just a tool to visually orient yourself in large works at big zooms. It is not meant as a preview of what you're going to see when you export a file.

In your case, the Navigator preview is way larger than the file's actual size. Therefore, Photoshop makes a pixelated, fuzzy preview.

Try and export your file (File > Save for Web...), and check that. It's bound to be crisp.
