Why Does The Product Image Look Low Quality?
There are few reasons for this... The first reason is because jpeg files are typically lower in overall quality compared to PNG and especially SVG files, however jpeg files are much smaller and load much faster online. We want our pages and images to load very fast for our users, plus Google loves when we have fast loading pages! The second reason being, it helps cut down on theft of our files, sure someone can steal an image from our website, however the file quality will be super low, plus the image will have our watermark all over it and be difficult to work with. We try to keep all of our prices affordable and hope you can support us in downloading our files the proper way.
