File Export Settings

Different Export Setting

Save as AI (Adobe Illustrator File)

  • Ideal if you plan to work on the project again;

  • Compatible with other Adobe software (e.g., After Effects, InDesign) if Create PDF Compatible File is checked;

  • Option to save each artboard separately;

  • Offers backward compatibility with older versions.

Save as EPS

  • A widely compatible older format preferred by print houses;

  • Larger file size but highly compatible with various software and machines.

Save as PDF

  • Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities allows future editing but increases file size; uncheck if size or security is a concern;

  • Compression settings enable bitmap image compression;

  • Downsampling to 72 PPI is recommended for digital display.

Export As

  • A simple export option for common formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, SVG, Photoshop);

  • Useful for quick, straightforward exports.

Export for Screens

  • Useful for exporting multiple artboards or assets;

  • Supports export at different scales (e.g., 1x, 2x, 3x);

  • Ability to add prefixes and control size for each export.

Save for Web

  • Designed for web or mobile application exports;

  • Supports formats like GIF, JPEG, and PNG (8-bit and 24-bit);

  • Provides control over image size, quality, and file size;

  • Offers detailed settings for web optimization.

General Tips

  • Use 72 PPI for digital exports, higher PPI for print;

  • PNG is ideal for web designs with transparency, while JPEG works well for images;

  • Save settings or presets to streamline future exports.

Slice Tool

The Slice Tool

  • Divides your artboard or design into multiple parts (slices);

  • Click and drag to create custom slices, and Illustrator will automatically generate slices for the rest of the artboard.

Exporting Slices

  • Multiple slices are created, which can be exported separately or together;

  • In the Export for Web window, use the Slice Select Tool to choose which slices to export.

Export Options

  • Export All Slices : exports the entire artboard as divided;

  • Export All User Slices : exports only the slices you manually created;

  • Export Selected Slices : exports only the specific slices you select.

Use of Slices

  • Slices are beneficial for web and mobile app design, allowing developers to integrate small sections into their code for optimized performance.

Export Settings for Printing

Printing Preparation Guidelines

  • Set Document to CMYK Mode : ensures accurate printing colors;

  • Bleed : Prevents white edges by extending design elements beyond the artboard's edges.

Setting Bleed

  • Go to File > Document Setup and set a bleed (e.g., 5mm on each side), or set it while creating a new document;

  • Objects near the edges of the artboard should be extended into the bleed area to ensure proper trimming after printing.

Exporting for Printing

  • Save the file as AI format or export it as PDF depending on the printing house's requirements;

  • When exporting as PDF , ensure to check Marks and Bleeds and select "Use Document Bleed Settings" ;

  • Enable printer marks (trim marks) to assist with precise cutting during printing.
