Ghost lines when exporting, from "Export As" or exporting assets

Hey, I normally don't need to ask anything because I can generally find the answers but now I'm stuck... no matter how I try to export files from Illustrator that are seamless to Photoshop they always have ghost lines. Can anyone tell me how to fix this or what I'm doing wrong??

I'm exporting as PNG now but I have also tried exporting as PSD and they are still there, I tried exporting as SVG and they were worse. Keeping the transparent background is a necessity.

I'm attaching a photo you can see at the bottom of the snowflake that there's a line from transparency that isn't in Illustrator. The file is completely seamless in Illustrator. My settings for export are set to 300ppi Art Optimized (Supersampling).

To me that totally looks like a pixel grid alignment issue when exported. AI is trying to snap to a pixel and extending your art.

Are you using snap/align to pixel grid? If not, you may end up with soft edges on your vector art when it exports:

It has snap to pixel, point and glyph selected.

Sorry, but I do not see your fine line.

What is the size of your file in pixels/points in Illustrator?

Do you export artboards? Are the upper left x/y coordinates round numbers?

Can you try 288 ppi (or a multiple of 72) instead of 300?

>>600px square, I've been exporting assets, but yes when I've tried "export as" I use artboards, I've tried it using them and without.

>>Yes the cordinates are round numbers.

>>I just tried 288 with the same result. I put a white background behind it so maybe you can see it at the bottom where it should be solid it's not. On the blue background there was a dark line and this one it's lighter. The snowflake should go to the edges.

I've exprienced this with multiple patterns and they all do it so I know it's not the pattern itself, I do always by habit check the whole numbers.
