hai guys, i like visiting /hr/, one of my favorite boards. i'd like to get into high res images more. can any of you give me tips on getting such large images from small ones (basically resizing without any pixelation) such as i see here?

pic related (in that is was immensely resized).

Pedobear looks to be a vector graphic, set to size then rasterized.

Vector graphics usually are solid colors separated by a mathematical border. They can be sized up and down without loss of quality.

And just as a rule of thumb, /hr/ likes its vectors in PNG format.

Indeed. jpg uses a rather poor compression method, there's a loss of quality.

Correction, it uses a compression method that performs poorly on solid colors and hard lines like you have in vectors and computer UI shots. It works great on natural images, however.
