How to Save an Adobe Illustrator File as a JPEG with High Resolution
Adobe Illustrator is a powerful software for creating vector graphics, but often you’ll need to convert those vectors to a more common file format like JPEG for sharing and uploading online. However, it’s important to maintain the high resolution and quality of your artwork when doing so. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of saving an AI file as a JPEG with high resolution in Adobe Illustrator.
Step 1: Open your Adobe Illustrator file
First, open your Adobe Illustrator file that you want to save as a JPEG.
Step 2: Adjust the artboard size (optional)
If your artwork is larger than you want it to appear in the final JPEG, you may want to adjust the artboard size. Click on the Artboard Tool and resize the artboard to your desired dimensions.
Step 3: Save the file as a JPEG
Once you are satisfied with the size and appearance of your artwork, go to File > Export > Export As.
Step 4: Choose JPEG as the format
In the Export As window, choose JPEG as the format.
Step 5: Adjust the resolution
Before clicking Export, make sure to adjust the resolution to a high value. A standard resolution for web use is 72 pixels/inch, but for high-quality prints or images, you should set the resolution to 300 pixels/inch. This ensures that the JPEG file will retain its high resolution and clarity.
Step 6: Choose the quality
You can also adjust the quality of the JPEG file by moving the slider in the Export As window. Moving the slider to the right increases the quality and file size, while moving it to the left decreases the quality and file size.
Step 7: Export the file
Click Export to save your AI file as a JPEG with high resolution.
By following these steps, you can save your Adobe Illustrator file as a JPEG with high resolution, ensuring that your artwork maintains its quality when shared and displayed online or in print.
