Newbie here. I wanted to design a wallpaper, (I was starting with a 1280x1024 size), so I downloaded this graphic from freepik [ see link below ] but I cannot figure out how to edit it.

First I loaded it into GIMP using ghostscript but the EPS file came out tiny

And then I tried to load it through Inkscape, but it either came out tiny like above or lost quality (pixelated)

(gimp on the left; zoomed in inkscape on the right)



I've tried a bunch of different things, but I don't exactly know what I'm doing...

I want to be able to edit the background/background colors (which seems like it should be transparent) and edit and/or remove the text. The lines of the bubbles have a bit of transparency to them so I want to be able to see the background through it if possible.

I've tried "ungrouping" the layers, but I am unsure if that even did anything.

Please explain what program I should be using, where I may be going wrong, and a step by step to fix this.

EDIT:
When I attempted to specify the resolution/size (tested at 1000) in gimp, it was bigger - but pixelated...
