Final straw with blurry PDF exports - Figma fixed it in 2 minutes

I spent 3 hours last night fighting with Canva to get a clean vector export for a client logo and it kept coming out fuzzy around the edges. Switched to Figma, used the true vector path tool and exported as SVG, and the client said it was the cleanest file they've ever gotten. Has anyone else hit this export quality wall with Canva?

My export from Canva looked fine on my end, maybe you just had the wrong resolution settings picked out. 600 DPI on a standard PNG gave me sharper edges than any SVG file I've pulled from Figma actually.

Man, that's interesting you say that because it really hits on something bigger I've noticed with all these tools lately. @lucas159 isn't wrong that Canva can churn out clean exports if you fiddle with the settings, but the whole "higher DPI equals better quality" thing feels like a band-aid for a bigger problem. People are so used to cranking up resolution to fix blurriness when the real issue is that raster files just don't scale the same way vectors do. It's like how everyone buys a 4K TV and watches old 720p YouTube uploads, expecting them to magically look crisp. The tool's capability doesn't always match the user's understanding, you know? Kinda reminds me how folks blame their phone camera for bad shots when it's really the lighting or their steady hand that's off.
