Getting additional pixel when exporting for screens in Illustrator

Hello,

 

I am creating 300+ icons and when I export them for screens there is always an extra pixel.
Ex. they are supposed to be 24x24 but they save as 25x24.

 

I have tried multiple trouble shooting techniques that I have read in forums but nothing I have tried seems to work.

 

Has anyone found a solution to this?

 

THANKS!

There's multiple artboards so they shouldn't have any point numbers ex 124.3 they should all be whole?


Yes, it's easy to do that.

Select the Artboard tool.

Go to the Properties Panel.

Select Rearrange All.

Set the number of colums and spacing.

They will all be set to a whole XY number

I have had luck setting the artboard size to be one pixel smaller each dimension.

Hi Ton, rearranging them is not an option for me. They all have different sizes.

 

I've removed the decimals from X and Y and I'm still facing this issue. Any ideas on how to sort it out? Thanks.

Can you share an example .ai file that shows the problem?

The artboard is set to whole numbers.

 

 

But when I align the objects to the artboard, Illustrator always adds 0,5 to the X.

Which version?

Are both the artboards and the objects aligned to whole pixels?

Its Illustrator CC the newest version. How do I know if the objects and artboards are aligned to the whole pixels?

Select them with the artboard tool and check the X, Y, W, H values.
