When I place an image in my Indesign document I get a broken white line around the edge. This is a shape made in photoshop and placed in indesign. They are PNG files placed into the document.

The screenshots are from PDF version and the images are saved as CMYK, I get it even when there is no transparency and the image is CMYK .jpg with a background.

It seems to only happen on rounded images... could it be something to do with resolution? even images 5000px X 5000px are showing poorly an A4 document.

I've tried hiding it with shadows or re-placing the image but I can't get it to go away.

How do I get rid of these broken outlines?

It looks like the .png has these white pixels natively. Possibly they have been made from an image that used to have a white background, and some white anti-aliasing residues are left.

You could try to re-make the .png from scratch, starting with a transparent background. Even better, I'd try to recreate the objects in Illustrator and place the vectors and make them transparent (of necessary) in InDesign.

Do note that .png is not a good file format to place in an InDesign file that is intended for print. Print is (usually) in CMYK, and .png is in RGB by default. If you want to use transparency like this, use a .psd or .ai in CMYK mode and apply transparency either in the native program, or use InDesign's opacity slider.

Try using PNG files (if you are placing image with transparent background) and try to feather an image while placing in InDesign file.
