How can I export files in the specified size? I'm trying to export a PNG file from Illustrator in 3000x3000px with a resolution of 300dpi but the final size always turns out to be much larger(12500x12500px) , are there any suggestions on how this can be fixed (I need to export with the artboard size)

Thanks in advance)

I have the same object saved at 72dpi and 300dpi, small elements look worse where 72dpi, and most likely the difference will be very noticeable when printing

If you want to export at a specific PPI, work from the intended physical size, not the pixel size.

3000 x 3000 pixels at 300 PPI is a ten-inch square.

Or create an action in Illustrator that would:

- Uniform scale the objects in question by 23,998 %

- Optionally fit the artboard to artwork bounds (or selected art)

Then export to .png with 300 ppi.

Export at 72 ppi when you want to keep the pixel size. You can always set the resolution of the file later (without resampling) if needed.

So there is no way to export from Illustrator at 300Dpi with the required number of pixels?(( I can do it through Photoshop but it's a lot of extra work because I need to export 150-200 images per day
