[FIXED] How to increase quality on a PixiJS canvas?

Issue

I made horizontal scroll website with PIXI JS and it has a ripple effect. it worked fine till now but the only issue is it's showing a very low quality when I open up the website and from what I figured out that PIXI JS renderer get width and height to 800 x 600 resolution. any ideas how to change the quality ?

here's the PIXI JS code snippet:

// Set up the variables needed and loads the images to create the effect.
      // Once the images are loaded the ‘setup’ function will be called.
      const app = new PIXI.Application({
  width: window.innerWidth,
  height: window.innerHeight,
  resolution: 1,
  antialias : true
});
        document.body.appendChild(app.view);

        app.stage.interactive = true;
        var posX, displacementSprite, displacementFilter, bg, vx;
        var container = new PIXI.Container();
        app.stage.addChild(container);

       PIXI.loader.add("depth.png").add("polygonexample.jpg").load(setup);

       // In the ‘setup’ function the displacement sprite is created
      // that will create the effect and this is added to a displacement filter.
      // It’s then set to move its anchor point to the centre of the image and positioned on the screen.
      function setup() {
            posX = app.renderer.width / 2;
            displacementSprite = new PIXI.Sprite(PIXI.loader.resources["depth.png"].texture);
            displacementFilter = new PIXI.filters.DisplacementFilter(displacementSprite);
            displacementSprite.anchor.set(0.5);
            displacementSprite.x = app.renderer.width / 2;
            displacementSprite.y = app.renderer.height / 2;
            vx = displacementSprite.x;

            // To finish off the ‘setup’ function, the displacement filter scale is set and the background positioned.
      // Notice the scale is ‘0’ for the displacement, that’s because it will be set to a height as soon as the mouse moves.

      app.stage.addChild(displacementSprite);
            container.filters = [displacementFilter];
            displacementFilter.scale.x = 0;
            displacementFilter.scale.y = 0;
            bg = new PIXI.Sprite(PIXI.loader.resources["polygonexample.jpg"].texture);
            bg.width = app.renderer.width;
            bg.height = app.renderer.height;
            container.addChild(bg);
            app.stage.on('mousemove', onPointerMove).on('touchmove', onPointerMove);
            loop();
        }

        // grab the position of the mouse on the x-axis whenever the mouse moves.

        function onPointerMove(eventData) {
            posX = eventData.data.global.x;
        }

      // create a function that continually updates the screen. A velocity for the x-axis is worked out using the position of the mouse and the ripple.

        function loop() {
            requestAnimationFrame(loop);
            vx += (posX - displacementSprite.x) * 0.045;
            displacementSprite.x = vx;
            var disp = Math.floor(posX - displacementSprite.x);
            if (disp < 0) disp = -disp;
            var fs = map(disp, 0, 500, 0, 120);
            disp = map(disp, 0, 500, 0.1, 0.6);
            displacementSprite.scale.x = disp;
            displacementFilter.scale.x = fs;
        }

      // Finally, the map function is declared that maps value ranges to new values.


        map = function(n, start1, stop1, start2, stop2) {
            var newval = (n - start1) / (stop1 - start1) * (stop2 - start2) + start2;
            return newval;
        };

Solution

just found the answer and it was very silly thing actually.

the issue was with the width and the height they were set to window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight. my image quality was quite high so basically multiplying the width and the height inside PIXI.Application by 3 or 4 increases the qualit.

const app = new PIXI.Application({
  width: window.innerWidth*3,
  height: window.innerHeight*3,
  resolution: 1,
  
});
