QPushButton with border-image & 50% radius has pixelated border

[MF_DANTE]

I have the following styleSheet on a QPushButton

// Note: The QPushButton has a width of 50px and height of 50px
// So, the border-radius: 25px makes it completely round
QPushButton {
    border: none;
    border-radius: 25px;
    background: transparent;
    border-image: url(/*my image path*/) 0 0 0 0 stretch stretch;
}

This gives me the intended result: A circular button with an image as its background.

Although, the border of the QPushButton looks jagged/pixelated.

Image of the end-result:

The large circle (the QPushButton in question) has a jagged/pixelated border, while the the small circle without a border-image has a smooth border.

Is there a way to make the QPushButton have a smoother border?

It may be worth mentioning that the border-image is a png.

First time posting on the Qt forum, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I appreciate anyones help :)

In case anyone else has this problem:
The first reply to this post ended up resolving my issue.

This requires painting the image rather than loading it in via StyleSheets.

Note: I also added:

painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing, true);
painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::SmoothPixmapTransform, true);
painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::HighQualityAntialiasing, true);

To further smoothen it out.

You can then set the QPushButtons icon to the returned QPixmap.

It seemed that the antialiasing was acting weird with the rounded border and border-image.

I was randomly trying to look for answers, and found out, even if that was not supposed to be the answer to my question, that :
using "border-image" instead of "background-image" or "image" literally remove the pixelized stuff and SOVLES IT ONCE FOR ALL !
