FAQ: PNG for Kimvimba
What resolution is the PNG map?
Resolution depends on scale -- typically 300 DPI for print or 72-150 DPI for web.
Is PNG available for free?
Yes, exporting a map to PNG is free. Only a technical rule applies: the larger the area, the coarser the level of detail and the lower the final resolution — otherwise the picture would come out impossibly heavy.
Can I get a PNG with a transparent background?
The format itself supports an alpha channel, but the map is delivered with the background of the chosen style — a solid backdrop. If the background has to go, that is done in Photoshop or GIMP; for neatly overlaying layers on top of another base it is more convenient to take SVG.
What size does the image come out?
It depends on the sheet size and the resolution you set. There is a technical ceiling on the number of pixels: if the requested combination exceeds it, the resolution is lowered automatically so that the export reaches the end and the file stays openable.
Which resolution should I choose for printing?
For printing, aim at 300 dots per inch — on paper the labels will stay crisp. For a screen and a website 96-150 is enough: the file comes out several times lighter at the same visible quality.
