Is there any way to avoid that?

Okay, crisis averted... 🙂

I realized that you can copy the image from Illustrator and paste it into Photoshop and then export as a png without pixelating.

So all's good. 🙂

Exporting as an image will always create pixels, but there are export options by clicking the cog wheel.

Thank you Doug and Ton, I wasn't aware of the cog wheel!

But rasterized images -- where all the dots are 100% black -- are still pixelated when exported from Illustrator.

I should add that by 'pixelated' I not only mean that there are pixels per se, but also that those pixels show grey-tones, which they shouldn't.

When I instead copy the image from Illustrator, paste it into Photoshop and then export as a png from PS, then the resulting image does NOT show those grey-tones. Instead, the rasterized image appears as expected, all dots are still 100% black.

Again, it's no longer an issue to me since I just use PS instead...

After clicking the Cog wheel you can set Anti-aliasing to None to avoid grey tones.

Just so you know for next time, in the Export Selection window you can click on the little cog wheel and get the normal options (anti-aliasing etc.) for each export type:
