Are you wondering why some of your boards look blurry? Particularly if you’re using a lot of smaller boards on a high-definition screen, you might notice that boards you’re not currently working on are not as sharply rendered as your current board.

Boards for star rating designs in Penpot. The 5 star board is crisp but the other boards are pixelated.

This is a performance feature. It’s because Penpot is showing a cached image of your board when you’re not working on it, meaning the tool can focus its performance on your current board and work.
