This is incredible!! Thank you!

[@imthebestpersonintheworldfr]

tip. just make the guassian blur 2.7% and then duplicate the layer and then merging it, it will make it less pixelated in seconds :D

[@cat.uber.driver]

please explain how it works cause for me it did nothing

Okay so I’m new to Photopea. I make image sheets with multiple Google images on one sheet. When I go to print , the images are very blurry. Would I use this to make it print sharp? Do I do this same thing for every image? Or is there a way to do this for all the photos at once? Thanks so much for your help!

[@pixsmith]

That really depends on what kind of images you're working with, the technique shown in this video only works on simple one-colored graphics. One other thing, make sure you pay attention to the DPI, let's say for example, that you're trying to print an image that you downloaded from Google images, what I usually do, is create a blank canvas in photopea, like if I want to print on A4 paper, i create an empty A4 print document, and then I place the images into it, scale them if needed, and save as pdf for printing. This usually gives me the best print quality assuming the images you downloaded are good quality to begin with, hope this helps, reply if you have more questions ✌️

[@GreasyWop]

Thanks, but how do I make the new logo editable? For example if i wanted to change the color what would i do?

[@pixsmith]

Hi there MG! You can change the color by double clicking the shape in the layers panel and picking whatever color you want, hope this helps :)

Super good. My image is many colors do you have a sulotion for that. I got my image super sharp but black and white.

[@pixsmith]

it depends, can't really tell unless i see your image, if it okay, send me a preview of both original and scaled, then i will be able to suggest a solution, here my email : [e-mail]

[@keolasandiego2060]

I’m trying to make a gang sheet for transfer sheets. How do I make sure the files uploaded are at least 300 dpi?

[@pixsmith]

By uploaded you mean the files that open in photopea, right? if so, go to image > image size (or press alt+ctrl+i), there you will find the dpi, hope this helps ❤

[@gashumba888]

What if I want it to remain transparent, can I skip the add mask layer? BTW, this video was incredibly done in such a short time, it is hard to believe that you just taught me how to use Photopea in less than 3 minutes! Thanks a ton!

[@pixsmith]

If you want to keep it transparent, skip adding the white background layer, and thank you for your kind words ❤️

[@gashumba888]

@@pixsmith thank you! I did and it worked perfectly.

[@Gzeez]

hey please answer this because i dont know what to do, when i save my file it comes out as a file from edge and i cant open it everywhere

That's an svg file (vector graphic), you need to download and install inkscape to preview and edit svg files, hope this helps ❤️

But how do I use this image to make another design with it

Awesome, it works, but it turned my color logo to a black and white logo, how would I get the color back into the logo? I'm sure It's a simple fix but I'm just too new at using Photopea, excuse my ignorance haha

[@pixsmith]

After using the vectorize bitmap option, your logo will be turned to a shape layer, double click on it and you will be able to change the color, do let me know if this doesn't work, I will look more into it

At 1:43, I repeat the steps but even after 'Select All', 'Copy Merged', 'Paste', nothing happend. I see no new layer formation. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Hi, Can you please help me, other viewers reported this problem as well, if you could record your screen while doing the step, and send me the recording to [e-mail] I will try and troubleshoot the issue myself or escalate it to the developers, thanks for your feedback ❤️

[@skyndream211]

@@pixsmith This time when I was repeating the steps, a pop-up appeared asking whether I want photopea allow to access something. Unfortunately, I clicked okay straight away but it allowed to paste the merges and a new layer appeared according to the video. (I am not using Chrome) I resolved my problem by taking advantage of AI on Internet as resolution of my image was too low for photopea to handle it. . Nevertheless, thank you so much. I appreciate the work you do. Never stop creating, generating as not everyone can do it. PS. I selected the option capture window in OBS and pop-up did not reflect. :( That's the greatest drawback of trying to hide everything and make look clean.

[@pixsmith]

@@skyndream211 Oh I guess the issue has something to do with the browser not allowing clipboard access or something, anyway, glad it worked out in the end for you bro, thanks for letting us know, cheers ✌🏻

[@rvkit2873]

this technique doesnt seem to work when your logo has both thick and thin lines. either the thick lines get way too thick or the thin lines disappear =[

[@pixsmith]

Yeah, it only works on silhouettes, simple one color graphics

do you export as SVG ? Is so, try installing inkscape on your computer and open the file in it

If the text is small, I doubt you fix it, why not try to recognize the font, download it and retype the text with that font, hope this helps ✌🏻

[@darwincookie]

nothing is workign thisis the 4th video with the same settings

[@ZjTwams]

I feel pretty stupid asking this, but can you not just adjust the DPI to 300 within the Image Size option? That's where I adjust the size and DPI for wall art, and properties tell me it has worked, but am I missing something?

[@pixsmith]

Hey there @ZjTwams, AFAIK, DPI only makes sense if you're trying to print out stuff, digitally, it has no significance, correct me if I'm wrong. Moreover, simply increasing the DPI won't make the image sharper, it has the same effect as increasing the pixel size, I suppose.

[@OfficialChipsHorrorGames]

when i do the add new layer part at end it becomes blue and ruins everything

[@pixsmith]

Press D on your keyboard to reset the foreground and background colors to default black and white, then press ctrl+delete to fill the new layer with white, let me know if this helps ❤️

well it does help me but the problem is when i di all steps the photo started remove the character and is just black and white@@pixsmith

@@pixsmith thank you for responding, but when I skipped adding the white background, the levels adjustment layers doesn't work (the bur doesn't disappear unless I turn the white background on)

[@pixsmith]

@@jasim7497 Apologies for the late reply, I will be redoing this video soon, with a solution to that problem, try this : right before you do vectorize bitmap, use the color range option to select your logo, pick shadows from the drop-down list, and you should see that your logo is selected, click ok and apply a mask to hide the white background. After that, select all (CTRL+A), then edit > copy merged. Select the top most layer, then Edit > paste. Your logo should now be on top, hide all the other layers and lastly vectorize bitmap. Hope this helps ❤️

[@El.mit0]

when i select all and copy merged and then paste nothing happens pls help out tnx

[@pixsmith]

before doing paste, try selecting the top most layer, hit paste and see if a new layer is added, if no additional layer is created, try saving the project as psd, then close Photopea and open the psd file again, hope this helps 🙏🏻

@@pixsmith No it's a totally fine speed! People need to understand that they can pause a video, do what needs to be done, and then go back to your video. Instead of making a 20 min video just explain that to the people who don't come to that simple solution themselves.
