In the progress of using and applying pictures to your slides, presentations, documents, etc. We usually experience a decrease in quality if we try to make the pictures larger. This will end up with images that are both enlarged and blurry together. Therefore, people have been trying to find out how to make it bigger without losing its solution. In this article, we will bring you ways to enlarge Images without Preserving Quality.
The Reasons for Quality Decrease from Users
We will go from the formats of pictures. All PNG and JPEG files are made up of thousands of pixels, or we can call them Bitmap image files. Besides, the pixels can be seen as squares once we zoom in, and each of those is located in a foretaken place. That is the reason why we call Bitmap files.
When we use picture editing software, they will enlarge or shrink those pixels to resize a picture, so there will be a less visible quality loss if you lessen the image, and vice versa.
What are The Solutions for This Problem?
The core goal is to fix and offset the expanded pixels. Afterwards, they will get on well with the nearest pixel. This process Is called Fractal Interpolation, or Fractal in short. The process will deliver a better outcome for the pictures using this way of resizing.
Below are ways to procced this method by most editing software:
