Georeferenced Image unclear/not sharp in Web map/Web app

IBGemeente_Amsterdam — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 13:30:47 GMT

Hey,

Im making a web app. In the map that I made in ArcGispro this Image looks fine. But when I share it as a web map, the Georeference Image becomes very unclear/not sharp. How can I fix this? It's very important that people can see the details.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I looks like it is compressing your original image. How large in megabytes is your original and what format? you might need to publish the image as a separate Map Service. It may also help to put the image in its own Filegeodatabase and compress it.

The add the image Map Service to your web map

Thank you for your reaction

The original image is a png of 1,5 mb.

How can I create a separate Map Service?

You shared the original as a as a Map Service to get it online. Publish the Image only as a Map Service and add it to your Web Map as a separate layer. And then you may want to Tile it when you publish. Tiling is what Google and Bing do to get images online that look sharp and smooth. It will Cache the image.

However, check to make sure your not using tokens or whatever for your company first.
