I'm trying to export an artboard to my computer. But for some reason it turns out super small and pixelated. I tried messing around with the pixels, and trying again but it keeps coming up super small. How do I export it with the actual size in tact? Here are pics.  And btw, thanks for everyone that has helped me before! Keeping a young gal like me going and motivated lol.

    You could try this:

    Select all, double click the Scale tool.

    Enter the size you want in cm or inches.

    Click OK and while still selected choose Object > Artboards > Fit to Selected Art

    Marissa,

     

    8.5 x 11 pt is extremely small. You have a high zoom value in your first screenshot, a bit like working with a microscope.

     

    I believe you meant to make it 8.5 x 11 ".

     

    You can just change the unit from pt to "/point to inch. Or multiply by 72 (to 612 x 792).

     

    With regard to suitable size/resolution of the artwork, the way further depends on the final use; print and size/viewing distance as one possibility/aspect, screen/web use and image size as another one.

      I intend on using this for prints on t shirts. And for a website logo. So fairly large. And I tried changing that, and it still came out tiny.
