Content Quality Standards: Rasterization

Rasters should be compressed at a high resolution.

If your content was rejected with “Content does not meet our minimum quality standards,” it may be because of one of the following issues:

Blurriness and/or Artifacting

The image below is an example of a vector graphic file that was converted into a pixel-based image, also known as a “rasterized” image.

If the rasterization is not done at a high resolution, or the image is enlarged (also known as “upsizing”), the resulting images may contain blurred or rough edges as well as compression artifacts.

User-added image


The image below is a vector design conversion that was rasterized correctly and not "upsized." For this reason, there were no noticeable rasterization issues:

We Recommend

  • Use the highest quality option when rasterizing or converting a vector design into a JPEG image.

  • Use the highest quality option when exporting or saving a JPEG version of a vector file from a vector graphics editor.

  • Do not upsize JPEGs. Upsizing will result in pixelation which in turn could lead to a rejection.


If you don’t understand the reason for the rejection of your images or if you need additional clarification, you can always contact contributor support.
