Rise and images blurry

Jun 02, 2022

Hi,

I really like the labeled graphic block in Rise. However, whenever I upload an image (and this happens in other blocks) it's a bit blurry or pixelated.  For example, if I upload a PPT converted to an image, it looks a bit blurry. Any recommendations for fixing this? I'm not a specialist in image editing by any means, but I'm sure I can figure it out with a little guidance.

Thank you!

Hi Kandice,

When you upload an image to Rise, it automatically compresses the file which may be causing the blurriness.

If you'd like an image to not undergo compression, you can opt-out of image optimization on a case-by-case basis. Just add _NOPROCESS_ to the name of your image file. It'll upload and display exactly as you saved it.

For example, CAT.PNG will become CAT_NOPROCESS_.PNG

Hi Libby! Rise 360 optimizes and compresses images with virtually no loss of quality. So you can upload a large resolution images and it will adapt to the dimensions depending on the orientation or devices used.

Which block did you upload this image to? Are you seeing the same thing with other high-resolution images on your course? Would you be able to share the specific image file you used so that we can test it from our end?

You may upload the image file privately to us by opening a case here. Our support engineers are on standby to help you with your concern.

Thanks Angelo! I have even used the _NOPROCESS_ thing to no avail. I used the gallery block. The original image is attached. Interestingly, the centre image looks even worse than the other two, despite being generated the same way (in PowerPoint). Original images are attached too (PNGs)

Thanks for sharing the file, Libby!

I tried it on a couple of blocks that support images and they appear to be clear and high-quality. Can you check this sample Rise course that I created using the image you shared? I labeled them original and no process.

Would you mind sharing the link to your Rise course as well so that I can take a look?

Hi Libby! Thanks for sharing the link to your Rise course.

I went through it and the images appears to be clear from my end. Here's a quick screen recording of what I'm seeing.

Are you viewing the course from an external display/monitor? Have you tried viewing it from another machine or device without using an external monitor?
