: Pixellation in font for iPhone wallpaper I'm trying to create an iPhone wallpaper from an image. (iPhone 4, retina display) I've already found the resolution, which is 640 x 960, but the problem

@Barnes313

Looks like the app that I was using to transfer the image to my iPhone added some compression and decreased the image quality. (Dropbox, before an update removed this feature)

Thanks for all the response though!

DPI/PPI doesn't matter. The only thing that counts is the pixel resolution, which you already have correct if you're using 640 × 960.

Increasing the image to 326PPI and keeping the resolution to 640 × 960 will do nothing. DPI/PPI is just a tag that's associated with the document.

Pixelmator uses OS X standard text rendering, so it should look as good as possible. It sounds like your text may be very small though? Have you tested the wallpaper on an iPhone itself? Can you please upload the full image so I can take a look at it?

There's not anything special that needs to be done. Just create a document that's 640 × 960, design whatever you'd like and save it as a 24bit PNG.
