https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-storymaps-questions/image-pixelated-in-sidecar/m-p/1181279#M3233 <P>Hello. I'm currently working on a sidecar for a Story Map. I have a crystal clear, high res pdf image that when converted to a jpeg and uploaded to the sidecar becomes quite pixelated. (You can see a screenshot attached; I'm concerned with the image of the report, not the background aerial image.) Any ideas as to how to remedy this situation?</P> Wed, 08 Jun 2022 21:20:27 GMT EmmaManiere 2022-06-08T21:20:27Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-storymaps-questions/image-pixelated-in-sidecar/m-p/1181279#M3233 <P>Hello.

Whenever you have text in an image it's best to use a file with <EM>lossless compression</EM>, such as PNG. Can you try converting your PDF to a PNG image and see if that improves your results?</P><P>(Also, I've moved this thread out of the classic board since it's a question about ArcGIS StoryMaps.)</P> Thu, 09 Jun 2022 02:19:58 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-storymaps-questions/image-pixelated-in-sidecar/m-p/1181342#M3234 OwenGeo 2022-06-09T02:19:58Z
