Why is my company Logo in the title block of my ArcGIS map blurry? The logo was inserted into the title block as a PNG image and appears blurry when I export the map to PDF.

2Can you include your logo image and screenshot of what it looks like in your PDF? Is it resized up or down in your layout?– Midavalo ♦May 24, 2016 at 23:25

4It depends on several things in combination: pixel dimensions of the PNG, the size you make the PNG inside the map layout, the DPI setting you make the export. Ideally, you should only ever shrink a PNG inside the map layout, never enlarge it. Then make sure your DPI is set high enough so it doesn't "pixelate" your PNG.– alexGISMay 24, 2016 at 23:26

For best logo results, make sure you start with a PNG that has high pixel values, like 3500x3500 (if it's a square).
Next, make sure you shrink that down to at most a couple inches.
For export settings, set DPI to 600, and Image Compression to "LZW".
Then export to PDF.
