Export artwork

  1. Select a location for the file, and enter a filename.

  2. Select a format from the Salvage As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac OS) pop‑upward carte du jour.

  3. Click Salvage (Windows) or Consign (Mac Bone).

For a video on exporting content from Illustrator, see How to save a file for output.

Background consign

When you export assets from a file using the File > Export > Exports for Screens option, Illustrator runs the export process in the groundwork. You lot can continue with your piece of work fifty-fifty when the exporting is in progress. If the file is small, you might non even get to know well-nigh the background consign procedure, just for large files, it volition help yous save a lot of time and improves productivity.

Check progress

To check the progress of the background export process, yous can click the progress icon on the carte bar.

If multiple files are getting exported in the groundwork simultaneously, the individual progress for all of them is displayed. Once the export is complete, you'll receive a bulletin.

If you want to stop the export process for whatsoever file, click the Cancel (x) button next in the progress bar.

By default, files will exist e'er exported in the groundwork. To plough off background export, choosePreferences>File Handling & Clipboard >Export in Groundwork.

  • Currently, only the raster file formats, .png and .jpg, can be exported in the background. The .svg and .pdf file formats follow the standard export process.
  • If you select a combination of raster file formats and .svg/.pdf file formats, the consign process will not run in the background.

Quick tip

Quick Tip
Every bit you can continue to work on the file even when the file is being exported, do remember to salve or export your latest changes on the file.

File formats for exporting artwork

You can consign multiple artboards only to the following formats: SWF, JPEG, PSD, PNG, and TIFF.

AutoCAD Drawing and AutoCAD Interchange File (DWG and DXF)

AutoCAD Drawing is the standard file format for saving vector graphics created in AutoCAD. AutoCAD Interchange File is a drawing interchange format for exporting AutoCAD drawings to or importing drawings from other applications. For more data, see AutoCAD export options. Note: By default, white strokes or fills in Illustrator artwork are exported to the AutoCAD formats as black strokes or fills; and black strokes or fills in Illustrator are exported to the AutoCAD format as white.

BMP

A standard Windows image format. You tin specify a color model, resolution, and anti-allonym setting for rasterizing the artwork, too equally a format (Windows or Bone/2) and a flake depth to determine the total number of colors (or shades of gray) that the prototype can contain. For 4‑chip and 8‑bit images using Windows format, you lot can also specify RLE pinch.

Enhanced Metafile (EMF)

Widely used by Windows applications as an interchange format for exporting vector graphics data. Illustrator may rasterize some vector data when exporting artwork to EMF format.

JPEG (Articulation Photographic Experts Group)

Commonly used to save photographs. JPEG format retains all color information in an image but compresses file size by selectively discarding data. JPEG is a standard format for displaying images over the web. For more information, see JPEG export options. You can also salvage an image as a JPEG file using the Save For Web & Devices command. Note: Artifacts, such as moving ridge-like patterns or blocky areas of banding, are added to a file each fourth dimension you lot salve the file as a JPEG. Always salve JPEG files from the original image, not from a previously saved JPEG.

Macintosh PICT

Used with Mac OS graphics and folio-layout applications to transfer images between applications. PICT is especially effective at compressing images with big areas of solid color.

Photoshop (PSD)

The standard Photoshop format. If your artwork contains data that cannot be exported to Photoshop format, Illustrator preserves the appearance of the artwork past merging the layers in the certificate or by rasterizing the artwork. As a consequence, at that place may be times when layers, sublayers, compound shapes, and editable text are not preserved in the Photoshop file, even though you selected the appropriate export option. For more information, run across Photoshop export options.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics)

Used for lossless pinch and for display of images on the web. Unlike GIF, PNG supports 24‑chip images and produces background transparency without jagged edges; still, some spider web browsers practise not back up PNG images. PNG preserves transparency in grayscale and RGB images. For more information, see PNG consign options. Yous can also save an image as a PNG file using the Save For Web & Devices command.

Targa (TGA)

Designed for employ on systems that use the Truevision® video lath. You can specify a color model, resolution, and anti-allonym setting for rasterizing the artwork, as well as a bit depth to make up one's mind the total number of colors (or shades of gray) that the prototype can contain.

Text Format (TXT)

Used to export text in an analogy to a text file. (Come across Export text to a text file.)

TIFF (Tagged-Image File Format)

Used to exchange files between applications and computer platforms. TIFF is a flexible bitmap image format supported by nigh paint, paradigm-editing, and page-layout applications. Most desktop scanners can produce TIFF files. For more information, see TIFF consign options.

Windows Metafile (WMF)

An intermediate exchange format for 16‑bit Windows applications. WMF format is supported past almost all Windows drawing and layout programs. However, it has express vector graphics support, and wherever possible, EMF format should be used in place of WMF format.

AutoCAD consign options

When you export artwork to either DXF or DWG format, you tin gear up the following options:

AutoCAD Version

Specifies the version of AutoCAD that supports the exported file.

Calibration

Enter values for Calibration Units to specify how Illustrator interprets length data when writing the AutoCAD file.

Scale Lineweights

Scales the lineweights, forth with the rest of the drawing, in the exported file.

Number of Colors

Determines the colour depth of the exported file.

Raster File Format

Specifies whether images and objects that are rasterized during consign are saved in PNG or JPEG format. Only PNG supports transparency; if you need to preserve appearance to the maximum extent possible, choose PNG.

Preserve Appearance

Select if you need the appearance to be maintained and don't need to make edits to the exported file. Selecting this option may lead to a pregnant loss of editability. For example, text may be outlined and effects volition be rasterized. You can select this option or Maximum Editability, but non both.

Maximum Editability

Select if the need to edit the file in AutoCAD outweighs the need for maintaining appearance. This selection may atomic number 82 to meaning loss of appearance, especially if you lot've applied style furnishings. You lot tin can select this selection or Preserve Appearance, but not both.

Export Selected Art Only

Exports simply the artwork in the file that is selected at the time of consign. If no artwork is selected, a blank file is exported.

Alter Paths For Appearance

Changes the paths in AutoCAD to maintain the original appearance, if necessary. For example, if during the export, a path overlaps other objects and changes their advent, this option alters the path to maintain the objects' appearance.

Outline Text

Converts all text to paths earlier export to maintain appearance. Illustrator and AutoCAD may interpret text attributes differently. Select this option to maintain maximum visual fidelity (at the cost of editability). If you need to edit the text in AutoCAD, don't select this option.

Preset

Specifies the preset option settings file to use for exporting. If you change the default settings, this option changes to Custom. Yous can save a custom option settings as a new preset for reuse with other files. To save option settings as a preset, click Save Preset.

Export As

Specifies how to convert Illustrator layers:

AI File To SWF File

Exports the artwork to a unmarried frame. Select this option to preserve layer clipping masks.

AI Layers To SWF Frames

Exports the artwork on each layer to a separate SWF frame, creating an animated SWF.

AI Layers To SWF Files

Exports the artwork on each layer to a separate SWF file. The result is multiple SWF files, each containing a single frame with the artwork from a unmarried Illustrator layer.

AI Layers To SWF Symbols

Converts the artwork on each layer to a symbol and exports information technology to a single SWF file. AI layers are exported as SWF Movie Clip symbols. The symbols are named using their corresponding layer names.

AI Artboards To SWF Files

Exports each of the selected artboards to a split SWF file. This is the only selection available when you lot cull to preserve multiple artboards in the Save Equally dialog box. If y'all salve a preset with this option selected, you can use that saved preset only on files with multiple artboards.

Prune To Artboard Size

Exports the Illustrator artwork inside the selected artboard's borders) to the SWF file. Whatever artwork outside the borders will be clipped off. This option is checked and disabled when exporting multiple artboards.

Preserve Appearance

Select Preserve Appearance to flatten artwork to a single layer earlier consign. Selecting this pick limits the editability of the file.

Ignore Kerning Information For Text

Exports text without the kerning values.

Include Metadata

Exports the metadata associated with the file. Exported XMP information is minimized to continue file size pocket-sized. For example, thumbnails aren't included.

Protect From Import

Prohibits users from modifying the exported SWF file.

Curve Quality

Determines the accurateness of the Bezier curves. A lower value decreases the exported file size with a slight loss of curve quality. A college value increases the accurateness of the Bezier curve reproduction, but results in a larger file size.

Background Color

Specifies a background color for the exported SWF file.

Local Playback Security

Specifies whether you want the file to access but local files or network files during playback.

To specify Advanced options, click Avant-garde and specify any of the post-obit:

JPEG Quality

Specifies the corporeality of detail in the exported paradigm. The higher the quality, the larger the file size. (This choice is available only if you choose Lossy compression.)

Method

Specifies the type of JPEG compression that is used. Baseline (Standard) applies the standard type of compression, while Baseline Optimized applies additional optimization. (These options are available merely if you choose Lossy compression.)

Resolution

Adjusts the screen resolution for bitmap images. Resolution for exported SWF files can exist 72 to 600 pixels per inch (ppi). College resolution values result in ameliorate prototype quality but larger file sizes.

Animate Blends

Specifies whether or non to animate composite objects. Selecting this option produces the same results as manually releasing composite objects to layers before you export. Blends are always blithe from start to end irrespective of the layer order.

If you select Animate Blends, select a method for exporting the blend:

In Sequence

Exports each object in the blend to a separate frame in the blitheness.

In Build

Builds up a cumulative sequence of objects in the animation frames. For example, the bottommost object in the blend appears in each of the frames, and the topmost object in the alloy appears merely in the terminal frame.

Layer Society

Determines the timeline of the blitheness. Select Bottom Up to export layers starting with the bottommost layer in the Layers panel. Select Top Down to consign layers starting with the topmost layer in the Layers panel. (This pick is available merely for AI Layers To SWF Frames.)

Consign Static Layers

Specifies one or more layers or sublayers to be used every bit static content in all the exported SWF Frames. Content from the selected layers or sublayers will be present as background art in every exported SWF frame. (This option is merely available for AI Layers To SWF Frames.)

JPEG export options

If your document contains multiple artboards, specify how to export the artboards before you lot click Save (Windows) or Consign (Mac Bone) in the Export dialog box. To export each artboard equally a separate JPEG file, select Use Artboards in the Export dialog box. To export only a range of artboards, specify the range. Then click Save (Windows) or Export (Mac Bone) and specify the post-obit options:

Quality

Determines the quality and size of the JPEG file. Choose an option from the Quality bill of fare or enter a value betwixt 0 and x in the Quality text box.

Color Model

Determines the color model of the JPEG file.

Method and Scans

Select Baseline ("Standard") to use a format recognized past well-nigh web browsers, Baseline Optimized for optimized color and a slightly smaller file size, Progressive to display a series of increasingly detailed scans (you specify how many) every bit the prototype downloads. Baseline Optimized and Progressive JPEG images are not supported by all web browsers.

Depth

Determines the resolution of the JPEG file. Choose Custom to specify a resolution.

Anti-Alias

Removes jagged edges in the artwork by supersampling it. Deselecting this option helps maintain the hard edges of line fine art when information technology is rasterized.

Imagemap

Generates code for image maps. If you select this option, select Customer-side (.html) or Server-side (.map) to make up one's mind the blazon of file that is generated.

Embed ICC Profiles

Saves ICC profiles in the JPEG file.

Photoshop export options

If your document contains multiple artboards, specify how to consign the artboards before you click Save (Windows) or Export (Mac Bone) in the Export dialog box. To consign each artboard as a dissever PSD file, select Employ Artboards in the Export dialog box. To export only a range of artboards, specify the range. And then click Salvage (Windows) or Consign (Mac Bone) and specify the following options:

Color Model

Determines the color model of the exported file. Exporting a CMYK document every bit RGB, or vice versa, may cause unexpected changes in the advent of transparent areas, especially those that include blending modes. If you lot modify the colour model, you must export the artwork as a flat paradigm (the Write Layers selection isn't available).

Resolution

Determines the resolution of the exported file.

Flat Image

Merges all layers and exports the Illustrator artwork as a rasterized image. Choosing this option preserves the visual appearance of the artwork.

Write Layers

Exports groups, compound shapes, nested layers, and slices as split up, editable Photoshop layers. Nested layers that are more than v levels deep are merged into a single Photoshop layer. Select Maximum Editability to export transparent objects (that is, objects with an opacity mask, a constant opacity less than 100%, or a blending fashion other than Normal) as live, editable Photoshop layers.

Preserve Text Editability

Exports horizontal and vertical point blazon in layers (including nested layers upwards to five levels deep) to editable Photoshop type. If doing then compromises the appearance of the artwork, y'all tin can deselect this option to rasterize the text instead.

Maximum Editability

Writes each top-level sublayer to a split Photoshop layer if doing so doesn't compromise the advent of the artwork. Acme-level layers become Photoshop layer sets. Transparent objects remain editable transparent objects. Also creates a Photoshop shape layer for each compound shape in a top‑level layer if doing and then doesn't compromise the appearance of the artwork. To write compound shapes with solid strokes, change the Join type to Round. Whether or not y'all select this choice, all layers over 5 levels deep are merged into a single Photoshop layer. Note: Illustrator cannot export chemical compound shapes that have graphic styles, dashed strokes, or brushes applied to them. Such compound shapes become rasterized.

Anti-Alias

Removes jagged edges in the artwork by supersampling it. Deselecting this option helps maintain the difficult edges of line art when information technology's rasterized.

Embed ICC Profiles

Creates a color-managed document.

PNG export options

If your document contains multiple artboards, specify how to consign the artboards before you click Salve (Windows) or Export (Mac OS) in the Consign dialog box. To export each artboard as a dissever PNG file, select Employ Artboards in the Consign dialog box. To consign merely a range of artboards, specify the range. And so click Salvage (Windows) or Consign (Mac OS) and specify the following options:

Resolution

Determines the resolution of the rasterized image. Higher resolution values upshot in improve image quality but larger file sizes. Note: Some applications open up PNG files at 72 ppi , regardless of the resolution you specify. In such applications, the dimensions of the image will be contradistinct. (For example, artwork saved at 150 ppi will be over twice as large as artwork saved at 72 ppi .) Therefore, just change the resolution when you lot know the target awarding supports non ‑72‑ppi resolutions.

Color

Specifies a color for filling transparency. Choose Transparent to preserve transparency, White to fill transparency with white, Blackness to fill transparency with blackness, or Other to select another color for filling transparency.

Anti-Alias

Removes jagged edges in the artwork by supersampling it. Deselecting this pick helps maintain the hard edges of line art when it is rasterized.

Interlaced

Displays low-resolution versions of the image as the file downloads in a browser. Interlacing makes download time seem shorter, simply as well increases file size.

TIFF export options

If your certificate contains multiple artboards, specify how to consign the artboards earlier you click Save (Windows) or Export (Mac OS) in the Export dialog box. To export each artboard as a carve up TIFF file, select Use Artboards in the Export dialog box. To consign only a range of artboards, specify the range. Then click Save (Windows) or Export (Mac Bone) and specify the post-obit options:

Colour Model

Determines the colour model of the exported file.

Resolution

Determines the resolution of the rasterized paradigm. Higher resolution values result in amend image quality but larger file sizes.

Anti-Alias

Removes jagged edges in the artwork by supersampling information technology. Deselecting this option helps maintain the hard edges of line art when it is rasterized.

LZW Compression

Applies LZW compression, a lossless compression method that does non discard detail from the epitome. Select this option to produce a smaller file.

Byte Order

Determines the appropriate sequence of bytes for writing the paradigm file, based on the platform you choose. Illustrator and near recent applications can read files using the byte order for either platform. However, if you don't know what kind of plan the file may be opened in, select the platform on which the file will be read.

Embed ICC Profiles

Creates a colour-managed document.
