Hi, 

 

When i export my illustration to png (i chose 300ppi  high resolution), weird lines appear. 

 

This is what it should look like:

 

and  this is what it looks like once exported:


i think it might have something to do with the gradients that are applied but i have no idea how to fix it.

The artboard is 961,8029 in w and 560,7211 px in h, i need a smaller artboard, but when i do this, it loses quality and i get the same problem with the lines.

 

please help.

Fractional values and resolutions other than multiples of 72 ppi are known to create additional pixels (normally at the edges of the exported file). I am guessing, but what happens if you make your artboard slightly smaller; 961x560 px, reset the zero X/Y point by double clicking the intersection of the rulers at the upper left corner and export at 288 ppi?

Hello @Milana27050399qwaz,

 

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind trying to change the document Raster Effects setting (https://www.schoolofmotion.com/blog/understanding-the-adobe-illustrator-menus-effect#:~:text=Document%20Raster%20Effects%20Settings%20in%20Adobe%20Illustrator) and checking if it helps?

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

Do you use Art Optimized for anti-aliasing?
