How to Save an AI Image as a JPEG
Adobe Illustrator (AI) is a powerful tool for creating vector graphics and illustrations. However, when it comes to sharing your artwork, you may need to save your AI images in a more widely supported format, such as JPEG. Saving an AI image as a JPEG is a simple process, and this article will guide you through the steps to do so.
Step 1: Open the AI File
First, open the AI file that you want to save as a JPEG in Adobe Illustrator. You can do this by clicking on “File” in the top menu and selecting “Open” to locate and open the AI file from your computer.
Step 2: Adjust the Artboard (Optional)
If your AI file contains multiple artboards and you only want to save a specific artboard as a JPEG, you can adjust the artboard to the desired size. Select the artboard tool from the toolbar and resize or reposition the artboard as needed.
Step 3: Export the Image
Once you have the AI file open, click on “File” in the top menu and select “Export” > “Export As”. This will open the export dialog box.

Step 5: Adjust the Settings (Optional)
You can adjust the quality and resolution settings for the JPEG file before saving. The higher the quality, the larger the file size will be. You can also choose to include the artboard or select specific areas to include in the JPEG file.
Step 6: Save the JPEG File
After adjusting the settings, click on “Export” to save the AI image as a JPEG file. Give the file a name and click “Save”.
And that’s it! You have successfully saved your AI image as a JPEG. The JPEG file can now be easily shared and viewed on various platforms and devices.
