I seem to be having some trouble with exports in Krita.

When viewing my artwork (this is a large piece so it is 156MB) in Krita all of my pixels look clear and visible.

I've exporting with JPG 100% compression and PNG with largest file size and both times I get the same low-quality result!

https://i.imgur.com/pBS1Fgw.jpg Saved image (for some reason it is 88MB instead of 156MB where are those 60-70MB going?!?!? on PNG and JPG)
https://i.imgur.com/lovcVxF.png Saved work in Krita ( a lot clearer and I can see all the work I put in with each pixel.

The piece is 6372x6372 I have tried upscaling/downscaling and it didn't help it actually only made things worse...

What exactly can I do to solve this because this is pixel art and I feel like all of my work is ruined because when I save all of this work I put in gets turned into a blurry mess?

Why the heck are you saving pixel art as jpeg? That's completely unsuitable -- jpeg is _lossy_, which means it will mess up your pixels. And since png is lossless there is no way at all for a png image to change pixels on saving. And rescaling your image will also always change the actual pixels, so you shouldn't do that either.

Now, what I don't get is that you seem to be saying that you're getting jpeg artefacts when saving as png, but you're not really clear about that either, and, on the face of it, that is just not possible.

The problem is not that I am getting jpg artifacts in a png image, my problem is the fact that when I export my image simply never looks as clear as it does when I am in Krita or any other software for that matter.

When I use other software this problem does not arise, but for some reason with Krita I always end up losing data from the amount that is displayed in the bottom right corner. Always the same kinds of details are lost whether I am working with a jpg or a png. Maybe I used a faulty example but this has been going on ever since I started using the program.

I'm not sure If I am missing something myself, am making continuous format/export mistakes with my work all this time or what, but when I export in all the other programs I use for my art (I use about 5-10+ depending on workflow for a single piece) it is when I get to Krita that I begin to lose quality dramatically. Whether I start a painting in Krita or move a painting through Krita as a stage in my workflow. This program always gives me the same results and changing the file format does not seem to make it go away.

Could you give two pngs where one is from before krita and one that is the exactly the same but saved from Krita? Then we can run imagick's compare command on it and see if there's an actual difference in the pixels.

Because we cannot actually tell what kind of difference you are seeing, and all we can state is that jpeg does indeed handle compression so radically different that opening a jpeg, editing it and saving it again can indeed make things look different, but that is inherent to jpegs compression method.

Maybe also share the original .kra file with us? This is weird, and I've never heard of something like this before, but we should investigate...

I will be able to get some files for you both later and will post them in a reply to show the issue.
