Small stroke appears around objects when I export or copy and paste

[forresterj]

When I export my file as a PNG or copy and paste into Photoshop as a Smart Object my image has small strokes around many of the objects that should not be there. I have attached my image as it appears in Illustrator, then the image as it appears in Photoshop or as a PNG.

Any idea why the strokes might be appearing?

Those are anti-aliasing artifacts.

You could try and export a PSD from Illustrator. Use the anti-aliasing method "Supersampling"

If that does not work, you could try and in the Image Trace panel use the method "Overlapping"

Thank you for the help! I wish I had known that beforehand because I had to redo the whole image after tracing again using the "Overlapping" option, but your solution did indeed work and the anti-aliasing went away. Great answer and suggestion for a fix!

Hi you have used image trace to make this picture into vector that is due to color mixup you are facing it you can make by using pen tool then you not face it.

Thanks.

It's happening because the shapes generated by Image trace are neighbouring and not overlapping when you apply the default trace options.
