hi guys

when i export an artwork in illustrator (export for screens) i get very thin white lines in the artwork.

the same lines appear when i copy paste the art from illu to photoshop.

i guess it has something to do with resolution and pixels but i cannot fix it. i know i can place same-colored backgrounds but i want to avoid this unnecessary work and also, the lines would probably persist between the different backgrounds. that would work if your art has only one color but not if there are many different colors.

the only way so far is to convert the art in illustrator to an pixel-image and then copy it to photoshop. but this solution is also not satisfactory.

When you export, do you use Art Optimized Anti-aliasing?

You can also apply a non destructive Rasterize Effect in Illustrator with anti-aliasing turned off before copy-paste into Photoshop.

In the export for screens window, you see a little cogwheel that you can click to change the settings.

Those are anti-aliasing issues.

Are the artboards and the artwork aligned to the pixel grid exactly?

And you do not resample when exporting?

thanks for your answer. well no, the artwork is not perfectly alignet to pixel grid.
when its perfectly alignet then the issue is not visible in illustrator:

but it is still visible in photoshop:

the issue is still visible in illustrator and photoshop when i use non-pixel-perfect shapes such as for example this triangles. then i still see some of the lines. not all but some of them.
illustrator:

photoshop:
