Are you looking for a way to save your Illustrator files as PNGs? Luckily, there are a few different methods that you can use to do this. In this article, we’ll show you how to save Illustrator as PNG using three different methods.

Saving Illustrator files as PNG

There are two ways to save your Illustrator file as a PNG. The first is to use the “File > Export” function and select PNG from the list of file formats. The second is to use the “File > Save As” function and change the file extension to .png.

Exporting PNG files from Illustrator

When you’re ready to save your Illustrator file as a PNG, go to File > Export. In the Export window, select PNG from the Format dropdown menu. Click Export to open the PNG Options dialog box.

In the PNG Options dialog box, make sure that the following settings are selected:

– Include All Document Information: This setting ensures that all of your document’s metadata, such as author information and keywords, is included in the exported file.
– Transparency: This setting is selected by default and ensures that any transparent areas in yourdocument will remain transparent in the exported file.
– Interlaced: This setting creates a progressive scan image, which loads an image in multiple passes. This is helpful when exporting large images because it allows you to see a low-resolution version of the image while it’s loading.
– Anti-aliasing: This setting smooths out any jagged edges in your image.

Once you’ve selected your settings, click OK to close the PNG Options dialog box and export your file.

Optimizing PNG files for web

To save an Adobe Illustrator file as a PNG for the web, you’ll want to export your file using the “Save for Web” feature. This will allow you to make adjustments to the file that will result in a smaller file size while keeping the quality of your image high.

When you’re ready to export your file, go to File > Export > Save for Web (or press Shift + Alt + Command + S on a Mac).

This will open up the “Save for Web” window. Here, you can make sure that your file is exports as a PNG by selecting it from the drop-down menu next to “Format.”

Once you’re happy with your settings, click “Save” and give your file a name and location.

Saving Illustrator files for print

When you’re designing for print, there are a couple of things you need to keep in mind to ensure the best print quality. One of the most important is the resolution, or DPI (dots per inch). Print quality is measured in DPI, and the minimum resolution for print is 300 DPI. That means that eachinch of your design will be made up of 300 dots.

If you’re designing something that will be printed at a large size, like a poster or banner, you can get away with a lower resolution because the dots will be spread out over a larger area. But if you’re designing something small, like a business card or flyers, you need to make sure the resolution is high enough so that the design doesn’t look blurry when it’s printed.

Another important factor to consider when printing is the color mode. The two most common color modes for print are CMYK and RGB. CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (the “key” color), and it’s the standard for color printing. RGB stands for red, green, and blue, and it’s used mainly for digital displays like computer monitors and TVs.

When you design something in RGB mode, it will look different than when it’s printed in CMYK mode because the color gamut is different. That means that not all of the colors in your design will translate when it’s converted from RGB to CMYK. For that reason, it’s always best to design in CMYK mode from the start if you know your design is going to be printed.

To save an Illustrator file for print:
1) Go to File > Save As…
2) Choose where you want to save your file
3) In the Format drop-down menu, choose either EPS or PDF
4) Click Save
