Improve PNG/JPG quality of exported artboards
Hi,
There are two ways of showing clients the work. One is by exporting for design review, which has serious flaws, as the size of the export depends on the size of the clients's screen. So if I my artboard has 1920px width, and my client is on a laptop that has a 1366px resolution width, he will see everything shrinked. VERY VERY BAD.
So what can I do? I export the artboards and send him the images. But the PNGs/JPGs are extremely low quality, I always have to explain that this is how Adobe XD exorts images, as a client thought I was mocking him. It's ridiculous to be paid $80/hour and not be able to send a good looking preview to your client. It's embarrassing.

Guys this is insane. Exports from XD are poor quality, do I have to leave Adobe for Sketch. I am loving XD but this is a showstopper, please, this has to be fixed. See attached, the file _PS is from photoshop at 450x450 PNG, the file _XD is from XD using the same export settings. Please help!

Hi! i'm totally on your side, i realised today that xd (made for screen design) had a lower functions for export than illustrator or photoshop … why?! every extra step to a crisp, small sized pic, is ridiculous for a software that is made for screen design … actually i try to export a advertising banner to a specific file size … export to PDF destroys the layout (scaled pics where resized in the clipping box), export to svg destroyed fonts … a few days ago i decide to move from sketch to xd – please, adobe don't let me feel it was a mistake! thanks
Screenshot shows the exported svg opened in illustrator … and

Hey Elaine,
I read the article, however I don't think it relates to my problem. If I export a PNG for the web to show to a client, that PNG will look blurry and low quality. So what I do is export at 2x, open it with photosop, and resize it. That's the only way it will look nicer and crisper. But it's quite a few extra steps, when this could be done by choosing a simple option.
