I have a few photos that I want to upload to Scratch. However, I found that after I imported them into the Scratch Editor, they became rather pixelated. I saw some projects that have also photos in them, but they don't seem to have this problem… Is there a way to fix this? How should I import bitmap, PNG, or JPG images so that they won't get pixelated?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

They got those images in unpixelated because they imported them as a vector graphic. I forgot the exact format of vector images but I believe it was .Svg (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Try importing using vector and not bitmap?

If you have .png or .jpg file try
.png/jpg to .svg converter

Hey, you're still around? Good to see ya!
Anyway, like the others said above, it's best to use vector, as vector art is naturally more smooth. Bitmap tends to be used for pixel art

1.go to the backdrop/sprite
2.covert to vector
3.upload photo

if this didn't work im very sorry

That is a part of it, but the picture your uploading also has to be in the vector file format which is .SVG or they will still be pixelated.
