If you sell digital products (or products created from digital products/images) it's important to upscale your images! What is upscaling? Upscaling an image is increasing the dpi (dots per inch) of the image. The fewer dpi, the more "pixelated" an image looks. What is pixelated? That's all the little dots or squares you see when you zoom in on an image. Why is upscaling important? When you create a small digital image... say for a social media post... it's so compressed and small that you can't immediately notice low dpi. But what happens when you click on that image to enlarge it? What happens when you zoom in? If it hasn't been upscaled, you immediately notice how blurry the image is. Same thing happens when an image is enlarged - think tshirt prints, posters, journal covers, etc. Take a look at the images below. Go ahead, click on them, so that you can see each one in a larger view. Each one looks a little different as it relates to image quality. The first one was downloaded to Canva after saving from ChatGPT to PC, then downloaded from Canva as a png to PC. The second one was upscaled using the Image Upscaler app in Canva at 8x. The last one was upscaled using i💙img at 4x. Can you tell the difference?? If you were a customer purchasing this png, which one would you want to receive to use for your products?? Upscaling your images makes a HUGE difference. And not all upscalers are created equally, obviously! The website is iLoveIMG | The fastest free web app for easy image modification They allow 3 image upscales per day, or you can subscibe to (I believe) unlimited upscaling for $9/month.

✨ Introducing: Weekly Design Challenges Something new is starting here and I am so excited about it. Every week I’m dropping a brand new design challenge — and we’re covering everything. Graphic design, brand identity, motion, web design — we’re rotating through it all. But here’s what makes these different from your typical design prompt you find online: You’re making something real. Every challenge has a specific deliverable — a poster, a landing page, a brand kit, whatever the week calls for — and you bring your product, brand, niche, or passion project to it. So instead of designing a fake coffee brand for the hundredth time, you’re actually building something you can use. 💪 Here’s how it works: 🗓️ A new challenge drops every Sunday after the live 🎨 You’ve got the whole week to create 📬 Submit your entry through the link included in each challenge post 🎥 Submissions get reviewed live on TikTok every Sunday @ 7pm EST 🎬 Can’t make it live?
