Known issue as in tdf#88675 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86675> and here is the answer I provided on the SE SuperUser question <http://superuser.com/questions/880756/why-do-images-copied-to-libre-office-writer-look-so-pixelated> :
"This is a known issue in LibreOffice (tdf#86675) where PNG images being imported/inserted and scaled are using "Nearest neighbor" in rendering the document canvas, rather than more common Bilinear, or BiCubic (Catmull-Rom) pixel interpretation on scaling. Also, for now in LibreOffice, believe PNGs with Alpha channel are always "scaled" using nearest neighbor. Especially an issue on Linux builds, less so on Windows builds. So, if you can prepare your PNG to the exact size needed, as well as prepare or convert to a non-Alpha channel PNG (using ImageMagick's "convert input.png -background white -alpha remove output.png" or similar utility), you should be able to have acceptable image insertion and rendering in a LibreOffice document.
