Question

Trim An Image that is outside an artboard

Hi,

 

I have a clipped image for a presentation slide that is going to be a .svg file. I've clipped the Twitter logo into an image and offset the image but when I save the file, the excess of the image is saved. How do I save it so everything outside of the artboard size is removed? 

In the image below you can see the wireframe of the image that is outside of the artboard.

Any help would be awesome.

Why not create a clipping mask in the area of the image you want and rasterize it?

You have to clip the image itself by applying a clipping path, a transparency effect or whatever - anything that would force AI to re-calculate and flatten the image. Just letting a layer on top obscure parts of the image is not enough and it behaves as it should in this case.

Hi Mylenium,

I did clip the image though by right-clicking my mouse and doing 'make clipping mask'.  Is that what you mean?
