I noticed that when I make a project, the image quality isn't the best. I was wondering if there's some way to improve it. I looked it up online, and I didn't find anything, so maybe someone on Scratch itself knows how.

The way Scratch resizes images to fit within the stage is terrible. You'll have to prevent it from butchering your images by resizing it yourself in an external program to fit within the Stage – 480 by 360 pixels.

Then how come I made an image that was over 800 by 800 pixels (on an external site) and it was still too small and the image quality wasn't good at all?

You can import the image as an SVG file.
Scratch also supports half-pixels, so making the image in 960x720 resolution is a good idea, as it won't diminish in quality when uploaded.

So, instead of keeping the file PNG I would just select SVG and it should help?

Resize it. You're just going to have to accept that you're going to lose some quality.

If you install third-party software designed to extend Scratch's functionality (weird way of phrasing it, I know), you will be able to upload HD images by including the image in a SVG image. Scratch does not reduce the quality of SVG images, so any high quality images in the SVG will not have its quality reduced.

Save the image using a vector format EX: .svg Then load it in scratch and it will be a vector image
