Image resolution
Improving images resolution would be a real improvement regarding Spark pages. Resolution is currently limited to 2560px width and it results in low quality and blurred photos compared to corresponding original photos. Regarding the higher and higher resolution of cameras, this feature would improve the quality of pages.

Ditto all the above comments. Spark has no chance of getting noticed on social media until the images are high enough resolution to look decent. Currently using a free version to test it out...no hope I'll pay for it until I can actually use the results. Come on Adobe.

I SOOOO want to love Spark, but the blurry resolution keeps me from diving in and committing...no one has time to create and then have a blurry, less than optimal image. Please dedicate some effort to this fix...seems rather basic for a company whose focus is images.

FIX: One way I’ve been able to bypass Adobe’s ****** output resolutions is to just screenshot the final image within the app and just crop it with another photo editor app. Much better results than using Adobe’s save files.

... and considering this is an Adobe product, such a ridiculous oversight should never have happened. The app could be the best in the world but if everything we create with it looks like **** when we try to share it, what’s the point?
I’ve been using adobe products for over 20 years and this feels particularly stupid for Adobe. -

I would also suggest you answer user questions on your Spark Twitter AC. It's somewhat embarrassing that you keep prompting us all to ask questions via Twitter but never reply. What are you doing Adobe?

Adobe, I hope you are not judging the demand for or popularity of Spark based on current version. As these comments indicate, the problem is the image quality not the product. I found this thread after searching for answers why my images were loosing so much quality with Spark. It’s a bummer. I would love to see the platform features beefed up and quality improvement and I would use it a lot. It’s a great tool until export. Cant currently use the results at all. (Adobe subscriber)

By reading other forum users' experience with Spark 'Pages' I'm thinkin' "Why bother killing ANOTHER Productive Day with another Adobe product foisted upon us as "Professional" software when (as I found with MUSE the several times I thought I'd be able to create something I wanted to – not at all 'on the bleeding edge', just pages that didn't look like the standard drag-and-drop templates that make "Web Designers" lives oh-so-E-Z-P-Z – and finding it all falls apart in the end) Spark sounds like it doesn't come close to delivering. (Please, NOTE that I have browsed through a number of the example pages Adobe has posted and – especially on my 27" 5k iMac – the photos there look [as Luke, Richard and others report here] B L U R R Y. Great Find though, 'Catheyc'; perhaps your discovery is a potential work-around till we find Adobe has at last released software that delivers, not beta-ware in sheeps' clothing.)
WHY, if PS allows us to export images as '1x', '2x', '3x' versions can't Spark 'Pages' shuffle-in the appropriate photo (by way of media queries) so that when we/others preview after export our designs look as we intended – ESPECIALLY when we spend so much time optimizing for '3x' vs '2x' vs '1x' and the reality of content download time using mobile?! (This is why I ALWAYS take the extra time to tweak the optimization in the “Save For Web (Legacy)” workspace rather than the current E-Z-P-Z “Export As” setup.)

As a designer I like the convenience of Spark's quick branding but as mentioned the compression is terrible. I can't use any of my work atm as it has completely blurred our company logo. Looks perfect on screen then when saving the compression screws it. Can Adobe offer any solution or explanation please? Many thanks in advance.

I’ve just invested a couple of days into a big project using Spark Page, and I’ve just seen it on an iPad for the first time... thee compression is completely unacceptable! This was reported an age ago... how come you haven’t fixed it yet for a professional product?!

I've found that I get blurry images even when I use the Spark library images (not just my own). But recently, I found that if I download the project while it's still open, the images are NOT blurry. When I download the project from the saved projects- they are.

Agree, I try to make a short real estate video using a few photos, but the end result does not look very good I'm afraid. If you made the spark a desktop app you would not have to rely on online rendering.

It's 2018 and resolution is still an issue? Please resolve.

Same here! I'd love to use Spark for my Pinterest posts. Pinterest officially announced they will be ranking you lower if you upload bad resolution images, so until then, I CANNOT use Spark, because of its low resolution rendering. Hopefully you will be able to fix this issue!

My company is also having this issue, and as a result, we don't use Spark nearly as much as we would if the images could be a higher resolution.

Would definitely love if this could be solved! My high resolution cover pictures in Spark Page have low quality on mobile devices.
Thanks in advance!
