When a Confluence page or space is exported to PDF, the images therein are reduced in quality or resolution (DPI), thereby appearing blurred. As of now, there is no configurable option accessible to the user to change the image resolution for PDF exports. There are certain PDF related customizations that can be incorporated through PDF Stylesheet tab. Can there be an option using the same PDF Stylesheet tab to enter the required image resolution in DPI for PDF Exports? If PDFs do not show clear images, it will be useless to add images in any of the documents. Actually, a lot has been sacrificed in terms of design and documentation options, to project Atlassian Confluence as a collaboration tool. I do not really think, keeping images blurred in PDF Exports helps in any way.

[CONFCLOUD-54983] Provide an Option to Customize Image Resolution for PDF Exports from Atlassian Confluence
This is abhorrent and renders using photos in these exports entirely obsolete. Please fix this. Also the word export has that issue in 2024, and we like to provide in word and pdf the best docus from confluence. Is that not easy to fix? Why do we need such poor images in exports, when the image in confluence is much better. Here we keep screenshots, mockups, and so far, in png with a good original quality. But not exportable.
Guys, it is infuriating that we still have this issue in 2023.
At least, dear Confluence people, add support for SVG, or EPS, or some vector formats that have no problem converting to PDF...or make the DPI editable upon import.
This is so basic.

Just ran into this issue myself! Images with important text on them are completely illegible due to the low resolution that images are exported with when saving as a PDF! Could this issue please be fixed?
Images look positively fried in the PDFs! It's unsightly. This issue really needs to be fixed.
This has been going since 2019 which is a joke. Users of this paid product want a fix so make it a priority.
Confluence pdf export image quality (in my case from embedded draw io diagrams) should be improved as it affects overall document quality.
Adding to the thread.
I have a workaround.
- Import an image into a page
- If you change the way the image is embedded into the page from the default, any export is blurred
- Leaving it as "central" works (the bar above a central box above another bar - why cant I attach an image inline?!)
- If you try to change the size of the image in the page you get the same blurring.
I suspect that changing the layout means that the page is resampled at upload to the wiki, so when the wiki is exported it messes up.
Leaving the unaltered image with central format works for me
Hope this helps
We have recently started publishing technical specs using the PDF Export tool. Several of our stakeholders have already provided feedback that many of our images are unreadable. This is really frustrating and looks extremely unprofessional.
Hard to understand, that confluence is not supporting a proper export in the year 2024. If you do not need a clean pdf, but just a pdf, try the print option of the browser.
