I'm trying to create an image that includes text, but whenever I export PNG without background, the text shows up pixelated.
Is there a way to avoid this? If i export in JPEG (either black or white background) it doesn't look pixelated at all. I assume this has something to do with transparency, but I'm hoping it can be solved somehow..can it?
Thanks in advance, really loving Gimp.

Could you tell us how many layers you are exporting and do they (it) have alpha an channel?

Would it help if I merged all layers?

Thank you!
7 layers: 5 of text (because I have different words in different positions) and 2 images (a character and the background). And it does have an alpha channel.

That is a good question. I wouldn't know how to answer you straight away, but I'll look up on google what does that mean.
Thank you both!
