I am opening a file in Illustrator with dimensions of 600x600 px and 300 dpi. In Effect -> Document Raster Effect Settings, it shows 300 dpi. The Document Page Setup also indicates high resolution. When I export as a JPG at 300 dpi without adding any images or text, the resulting JPG has a width of 2500 pixels and a height of 2500 pixels. However, my file is 600 pixels. How can I resolve this? I want it to remain 600 pixels during export. My computer is a MacBook Pro running macOS Sonoma 14.6.1.

Use 72 ppi (1x) during export.

A higher resolution will add more pixels.

Illustrator is resolution independend, the settings you mention are used for calculating raster effects.

Thank you for your response. When I use 72 ppi, the text quality of the two names in 9-point font becomes distorted. When I increase the resolution, it looks better, but it also increases the dimensions of the file. I tried converting the text to outlines and used type optimization, but I couldn't fix it. I have to use high resolution to maintain the quality of these two names. The other text in the project looks fine; only these two words are problematic. Thanks.

There are just not enough pixels at 72 ppi to render good quality 9 pt type.

Just turn on Pixel Preview to judge the quality.
