The Legacy Save for Web may be an old carthorse, but it knows its way home, even if the driver is drunk and sleeping it off in the hay in the back. If you have pure vector artwork, you can relax a bit and have the artwork/Artboard at any size (the Artboard must have the same proportions as the final image), then use the Legacity Save for Web and set either Width or Height in the Image Size and Apply (make sure the other value is also correct). In either case, use the relevant optimization (available with both ways) it is also convenient to have 72PPI in the Effect>Document Raster Effect Settings. Step 3: Click on the Artboard color icon. Step 2: Select File > Document Setup or use the keyboard shortcut Alt + Ctrl + P to open the setting window. Therefore, the safest way is to create the artwork at the final pixel x pixel size and use a corresponding Artboard, then either use the Legacity Save for Web (where you can look in the Image Size window for size confirmation) or Export at 72PPI. Step 1: Open the Adobe Illustrator document that you would like to change the artboard color of. Otherwise the resulting image will become a bit wider/taller and the extension(s) will be empty and therefore be white. To enable the Adobe Illustrator Transparency Grid and remove the white artboard background saved as a default, go to the View tab at the top menu, scroll down. then you save the AI file and see white where transparency was in the PNG. Save as a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file.

you've got a PNG that you're dropping into Illustrator and using Image Trace. Open or create your path object, then go to File > Save for Web. Hit the Ctrl + Shift + D keyboard shortcut if you’re a Windows user. It is also important to have the artwork and also the Artboard placed fully within integer/whole pixel X and Y values in the Workspace. 1 Correct answer Doug A Roberts Community Expert, ok i think i know what's going on. To retain the clean and crisp artwork, a PNG must be created at exactly the pixel x pixel size that it is to be used for (or second best at sizes that are powers of 2 times as large). It is easiest and safest to work at the desired size.Ī very common unsuitable way is to Export to PNG (remember to use PNG24 and use Transparency for artwork to be in front of different backgrounds) with a medium or high resolution, such as 300PPI.

If you wish to have PNGs (PNG24, of course) look crisp and clean, it is important to have the images in the exact desired final pixel x pixel size, forget about resolution which may actually lead to wrong sizes and hence blurriness. This may sound unforgivably outdated and boring, sorry.
