I am trying to export a family tree from Biblical People to Keynote, but the the picture it sends is so small that when i stretch it to fill out a large portion of the slide, the image becomes distorted/fuzzy/pixilated. Am I not doing this correctly?

    I can't tell whether you're doing it incorrectly. Whose family tree are you trying to export, and how are you doing it?

    I don't have Keynote, so I can't test it with that, but when I try to export to PowerPoint either of these following two ways, it fills the slide already. And I'm able to stretch even bigger it once it's in PP with no problems.

    • Right-click on the family tree, and select Send to PowerPoint
    • Right-click on the family tree, and select Copy, then paste into PowerPoint.

    Works fine to paste into Word as well. I have a pretty high-resolution screen and it looks fine to me. But maybe I'm not as sensitive to fuzzy/pixelated as you are. Can you post a screenshot to demonstrate how bad it looks for you?

    Here is how an expanded family tree looks in Keynote

    As you can see the faces are becoming ill-defined and the edges of the letters are blurred.

    You will need to double click on the screen shot to see the full sized picture.

    Wonder about printing to PDF, then resize in Preview, save as PNG, import to Keynote ?

    Hmm...I wonder whether that is Keynote's fault. Did it paste into Keynote too small to fill up a slide and then you had to stretch it? Here's a screenshot from PowerPoint after stretching (click to expand):

    The edges are a wee bit fuzzy at full size, but not pizelated like in your example.

    Here's the same Comic Nazirite tree, immediately after export to PowerPoint, showing how it already fills up the slide and doesn't need to be expanded any:

    But expanding it further in PowerPoint doesn't seem to do it any harm:
