Good news : Looks like the 1.3 version fix this issue in the advance export settings, using the (pHYs DPI). It didn't seem to work with older versions, but now it really does work. I leave it at 96 but I force it to 300 in the pHYs of the .png export. I use the native "photo" app in Win10 to look at the "photo information data", and it shows 300 dpi without altering the image size.

I wonder if it's really a 300 dpi now? I cannot zoom more in my 300 than in my 96 before I start to see the pixels. In my understanding, I should be able to at least zoom in 3 times more? No? Humm maybe I have a low resolution monitor?

The correct number for 500x by 500px output is to enter 160px by 160px in Document properties. 500px desired x 96 = 48000. Divide that by 300 and you get the 160px. Open and close the Export menu. Sometimes it sticks. I just ran it live in Inkscape and the output yield the correct 500px by 500px at 300dpi.

Great tutorial! Dumb questions warning!: 1. Does the dpi matter in the svg file? The dpi option is not available when exporting the svg. I'm supposing that since it's a vector image, it does not matter. But, I'm very new at this, so I don't really know. 2. Is there a difference between SAVING as plain svg and EXPORTING as plain svg? Or, do we wind up with the same thing in the end?
@IronEchoDesign
9 ай бұрын
These are great questions! I believe DPI doesn't matter in svg, because its a vector format. Saving vs exporting is all about preference and use. I save all my Inkscape work with Save because I may want to revisit it down the road. Export is just another way of saying send this to a folder somewhere as a specific file type. That's one way to look at it.

I'm not at my computer but I know in the Preferences side bar menu there are categories and one should have Import/ Export and I think the "ask for export settings mini menu" toggle box is in there. Some people set the mini menu and then turn off the pop-up option so they don't need the extra step. Hope this helps!

Inkscape cannot export or save at 300dpi. It says so when the save dialog opens but it dose not save as such. I save it as 300dpi and brought it into Gimp and the resolution was 100dpi. I did this because the printer I sent my work to said it was pixelated the resolution was to low. I had to redesign the artwork with Gimp.

That's exactly right. The 1440px by 1728px will export perfectly at 300dpi. It only becomes an issue when people try to input their POD dimensions, do their design, rightfully set to 300dpi and then export. The file becomes bigger than intended, and is rejected when uploaded to the POD site. I never noticed it for years until I kept seeing the question coming up in the comments.

Yes. Totally agree. The printer's required specs is what should be followed. Export at 300 dpi at the bigger size is no problem because a good printer can handle it. Some POD sites have a fixed requirement and this math trick helps people figure out how to output their work for the constrained needs of the POD. Shouldn't be a problem but its a weird one.
