I have an artboard in Illustrator set up at 1200x627 and the X and Y coordinates are at zero. But when I do an export for screens my file size exported is 1200x628. Anybody got a fix on this particular sizing?

Tom, you work from the center left X/Y.

Which will give you fractions if you look at the upper left X/Y.

Always check if the upper left X/Y contains fractions.

Thanks for sharing, Tom.

There are fractional values that will cause the additional pixels.

Have a look at the Y coordinates.

Fractional pixel values will be rounded because fractional pixels cannot exist.

You can easily fix it by rearranging the artboards (click the Rearrange All Artboards option in the Artboards panel or change the values manually)

What is weird is how the file gives you different X/Y coordinates from what I sent you, I had removed all those .xx numbers before. Anyway, I went ahead and removed them again, did the rearrange artboards you suggested and did the COMMAND, OPTION, E, export and I still got the 1200x628 JPG size.

So thinking that maybe something was off I went ahead and deleted all the artboards except the 1200x627 one. I then set those X/Y coordinates to 0. I did the same export and my JPG was still 1200x628. Even if I create an artboard at 1200x627 from scratch, zero out the X and Y values, I get the same result.
