Downsizing Face Canvas / Importing Full Size without Cropping

[Haekraal]

Hello! I'm drawing my facial expressions for my characters (the mini heads that can pop up in dialogue) and the canvas size is just too... small. 576 x 288 px just doesn't cut it and it pixelates my art when I downsize it on Procreate, so I'm wondering if either:

1) Someone knows a website where the canvas can be resized without egregious loss of quality OR
2) There's a plug-in or something that allows for custom sizes that abide by how the canvas would naturally be split for different expressions.

Thank you in advance!

First, in 2D the pixel is the absolute unit.

Resizing algorithm that reduce the size will always lose information and quality, no matter what.
Some algorithm are better than others, and much of the result depents on the structure of the original - but going lower than 50% will almost always result in a big loss.
The only way around that would be to use a professional image program to do the resizing - the algorithms used in the browsers are never the best because they are opptimized for different things.

You can use a plugin to increase the screen size of the game. That will give you more pixels on the screen, thereby allowing for higher quality. But it will also require the engine to be changed in order to use that more space instead of making the faces smaller.

You can also just not use the built-in portrait area and use event commands to Show Images of whatever size you like instead.

Ohh I didn't know that! Thank you!
