No we have to reduce the size of the tag:
Copy your tag.
Open a new image 400 X 400.
Selectons > Select all. Edit > Paste > Paste into selection.
As you can see, you hardly lost any quality.
Had you reduced the size with for instance
75% than the tag would not have been so nice anymore.
Try it and see the differents.
