Illustrator crashes every time I try to save.

Hi ​@PVMetal7412852,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear you’re running into this.

Adding to the expert suggestions, could you please confirm the exact Illustrator version and your operating system details? In the meantime, please try using “Save As” instead of the normal Save option and save the file with a completely new filename locally on your internal drive/Desktop rather than a cloud-synced or network location.

It would also help to try saving the file in other formats such as PDF, EPS, or SVG first, then reopen that exported file and try resaving it again as an AI document.

Additionally, please try copying the artwork gradually into a brand-new Illustrator document and check if the new file saves correctly. 

Please let me know how it goes after trying these steps.

Thanks,
Abhishek

​@PVMetal7412852 I would first split up the file in several smaller copies and see if you can save those.

Also save to your internal hard disk and avoid servers and cloud connected folders.
