Hi,

How do I export an image .ai to .png or .jpg or mobilephones, while the quality is the same?

PS: When I export it as PDF, then the quality is the same, but when I export it as .png or .jpg, the quality is distorted.

Would apreciate any help.

If using Illustrator CC 2017 have you tried Export > Export for Screens... and then in the Formats box select your format and scale?

Yes, when I tried exporting screen, the 321x208 image (which actually was in 1100x900, and which I run the trace image on), it gives me poor quality.

Is there a way to convert raster image to vector image?

what is your final product actually for? it may not need to be a vector image at all.

well yeah. you're exporting it to a raster image that's much smaller than the one you started with.

Yes, i wish I had a vector file, so I could avoid this mess. All i need is the 1100x900 px transformed to 321x208 px and share it with mobile phone. Is there any other format I can convert to for sharing with iPhone or android? I can't start sharing an image as a pdf in mobile phones....that is not normal. The weird thing is that in PDF, the quality remain the exact same, but not when exporting as .png or .jpg, isn’t that weird?

that is not weird. in a pdf you can have vector images. in a png or jpeg you cannot.

how big is your output supposed to be in pixels?

The image was originally in 1100x900 px. I applied the ‘Image trace’ with ‘High Fidelity Photo’ while transforming it to 321x208 px. This made sure that the quality remained the same.

Then I exported this 321x208 px as PDF, the quality still remained excellent and the same as the one I started with (1100x900px). But when I export it as .png or .jpg, the image get blurred.

Mohammad,

You may create the PNG or JPEG with the exact same pixel x pixel size as the one needed in the final application(s) and ensure it by using the (Legacy) Save for Web, setting the image size.

Save for Web is now hidden away in:

File>Export>Save for Web (Legacy)

what do you mean by 'quality' and 'distorted'?

Mohammad ModassirAuthor

With quality, I mean ‘quality’ the same as it is in the Illustrator. And with ‘distorted’, I mean blurred.

When I export it as pdf-file, the quality remain exactly the same. But when I export it as .png, it get blurred.

Would appreciate any help.

It's a raster format compared to a vector graphic.
