I have an illustrator file with artboard size 200x200px. When I save the image to PNG and click on property of the image, its showing 834x834px. I don't know why this is happening. I wanted the image size to be 200x200px same as the artboard
Please help 🙂

Import and export

I'm assuming you used Export As rather than Export for Screens.

Illustrator uses points for pixels, so Export As would create a PNG that is 200 points (in this examples) at 300 ppi--or 834 pixels.

Based on your artboard size, you are probably making a web-type graphic. Try using Export for Screens for greater control.

Export at 72 PPI instead of 300.
