Trimming to size of artboard when exporting PNG - No clipping masks allowed!

Question

Hi everyone,

Came up empty with Professors Google and YouTube, so here goes...

I want to export out a bunch of PNGs from Illustrator, and only save the EXACT artboard/pixel dimensions when exporting. That is trim everything else outside of the artboards.

No luck, it still includes say +5 pixels here or +10 pixels there outside of the artboard. Sometimes random, no logic to it.

Driving me nutz. And no, I don't want to do clipping masks because it's an uncessary extra step I have to go through ALL of these PNGs on the artboards.

Once upon a time.. I believe in older AIs there was a 'clip to artboard' option, but now can't find it anywhere in Illustrator 2021.

Thanks for reading and any insights!

Well ain't that a peach..

'Use Artboards' was always checked.

However the artboard size was set to PPT size - 5.63 x 10 in inches. When I convert the Units to pixels, I do get the decimal value.

Once I rounded the pixels to absolutes, then export PNG, I get the true trimmed size!

Thanks a Ton. 🙂

"I want to export out a bunch of PNGs from Illustrator, and only save the EXACT artboard/pixel dimensions when exporting. That is trim everything else outside of the artboards."Check the Use Artboards option during Export > Export As...Also make sure that your artboards have round pixel values for Width and Height and that the top left X Y values don't contain fractional pixels to avoid that extra pixels added.I am interested in examples that add "+5 pixels here or +10 pixels there outside of the artboard." If you can share such an Illustrator file, we can try to figure out what goes wrong.
