## Introduction

Retina and other high-density screens reveal weaknesses in your exports. A product image that looks acceptable on a phone can become soft or blurry on a laptop display.

This guide shows five checks to prevent blur by starting with the right source quality and exporting at the correct dimensions. Use [resizer](/resizer) on xcropimage.io to standardize sizes and keep your product gallery sharp.

## 1. Start with high-resolution originals

If your source file is already low-res, no export setting can add real detail later.

Use the highest quality version you have, then scale down for specific placements.

## 2. Export at (or above) the required display size

A common mistake is resizing after the fact or exporting at too small dimensions.

Export at the platform’s recommended size so the image doesn’t need upscaling in the browser.

## 3. Avoid upscaling (enlarging) small images

Upscaling makes edges look soft and can introduce pixel-like artifacts.

If the image is too small, re-export from a better source rather than stretching.

## 4. Standardize dimensions across your catalog

Inconsistent exports create a “mixed quality” feeling—even if each photo individually looks fine.

Use the [resizer](/resizer) to keep your product images aligned in dimensions.

## 5. Do a quick sharpness check after exporting

Zoom in at 100% on the exported file. If edges look fuzzy there, the blur will be visible on high-density screens too.

Do this check before uploading large batches.

## Conclusion

Sharp product photos on Retina screens come from five checks: high-resolution sources, exporting at correct sizes, avoiding upscaling, standardizing catalog dimensions, and doing a quick sharpness check after export. Use the [crop and resize tools](/) on xcropimage.io to keep your product gallery crisp and trustworthy.
