Are you a designer looking to export individual artboards from Adobe Illustrator? Exporting artboards allows you to save them as separate files, share them with clients, or use them in presentations. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to export only artboards in Adobe Illustrator.
Step 1: Open your Illustrator file
Open the Adobe Illustrator file that contains the artboards you want to export. Make sure you have all the necessary artboards created and arranged the way you want them to appear in the exported files.
Step 2: Select the artboard to export
Navigate to the Artboards panel by going to Window > Artboards. From the panel, you can see a list of all the artboards in your document. Click on the artboard you want to export to select it. If you want to export multiple artboards, hold down the Shift key and click on each artboard you want to include.
Step 3: Prepare the artboards for export
Once you have selected the artboards, position them within the canvas area. Make sure that they fit neatly within the borders to avoid any empty space in the exported files.
Step 4: Export the artboards
Go to File > Export > Export for Screens. In the Export for Screens dialog box, you can choose the format, destination, and other settings for exporting the selected artboards. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift+S (Mac) to open the Export for Screens dialog.
Step 5: Choose the export settings
In the Export for Screens dialog box, you can select the file format, destination folder, and other export options. You can select the format as PNG, JPEG, SVG, or any other supported file format. You can also specify the destination folder where the exported files will be saved. Additionally, you can customize the naming convention and other export settings as per your requirements.
Step 6: Export the artboards
Finally, click on the Export Artboard button to export the selected artboards as separate files. Once the export is complete, you can find the individual artboard files in the specified destination folder.
By following these simple steps, you can easily export only the artboards you need from Adobe Illustrator. This process allows you to create separate files for each artboard, making it easier to share, present, or use them in various applications. Whether you’re working on a presentation, sharing designs with clients, or preparing print-ready files, exporting artboards individually can be a valuable skill for any designer working with Adobe Illustrator.
