Read on to find out how to fix it., in Design export is blurry because it is: The wrong format; Images are missing; The Effective ppi is too low; The compression settings are incorrect.
This can somewhat be adjusted in In. Design through Effective ppi by scaling the image down. This will then increase the ppi of the output image. But it still may appear blurry in In. Design but when printed it may print clear enough. However, you can’t make a poor picture into a good picture.
