: Can't resize hi-res PSD for web without lots of pixelation I have a logo PSD, created in Photoshop (not in AI, not vector) with multiple layers. It is 3000px x 2244px at 300ppi. When I try

@Kaufman565

The answers given are mostly right, but I feel obligated to point a couple things out:

1) Removed so as to not give out incorrect information. I stand corrected.

2) I'd argue that logos are designed as vectors moreso to allow small artwork to be enlarged without losing quality, as opposed to the opposite.

This is not really that important, but as Manly sayed flatten your image.

1) If it was 3000x2244 and you want it 175x57 you are totally, totally messing with the proportion. You are terribly squashing it. Check your dimensions.

2) The 300ppi and 72ppi are totally irrelevant.


without losing so much quality?


3) You are reducing your file almost 20 times, depending on the type of image, of course you are loosing a lot of information and detail.

The only thing I can recomend you is what already being sayed. Flatten your image and resample it using bicubic sharper.

Flatten the image first (Layer > Flatten Image), then resize. That might help. Either way, reducing such a large image to that small of a size is likely to lead to quality loss. This is why logos are designed as vectors.
