PySide6 pixelates PNGs [duplicate]

I have the following widget:

pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap(r'pics\cdaudio.png').scaled(100, 100)

The image is scaled down, from 256x256. It looks pretty choppy:

How can I scale it smoothly from within Qt?

Solution 1:

Use the transformMode parameter:

pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap(r'pics\cdaudio.png').scaled(100, 100, transformMode=QtCore.Qt.SmoothTransformation)

Solution 2:

According to @iTayb, here's what I came up with:

// Scale the source to the requested size with 
//  the KeepAspectRatio as aspectMode & SmoothTransformation as mode
*source = source->scaled(width, height, Qt::KeepAspectRatio, Qt::SmoothTransformation);
target->setPixmap(*source);
