when I export my logo, it is coming up with unwanted lines

[Charlie2892]

I have created a logo for a friend and in illustrator itself, it looks perfect. but when i go to export it into a transparent PNG or any other format, it puts an unwanted line through a section of it. 

Anyone know how i can fix this as i cant see the issue on illustrator. 

I have uploaded some screenshots so you get an idea of what i mean.

What is that? A gradient? Or a pattern?

I created the fill by using an image and adding it to my swatch pannel

So that is not a gold gradient fill, but a placed bitmap.  I would recreate that as a vector gradient fill?

Otherwise need more info

• specs of placed files, colorpsace, pixel width and eight
• physical size of the gradient
• png settings used
• does thsi happen in other file formats liek .jpg or .pdf
• Does the white line show if you open in photoshop

That's going to have to be something I need to learn how to do then! I managed to sort it this time round though. I had to slightly crop one side of the image and it disappeared 😕

Hi @Charlie2892,

Sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing. Would you mind sharing a few details along with the ones asked by Mike:

• The exact version of Illustrator
• Is this happening with this specific logo file? If yes, would it be possible for you to share it with us? We'll check it at our end.
• Is this line appear in photos or the preview app as well?

We are here to help. We just need more info.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Anshul, 

I have sorted it now thank you! I had to slightly crop one side of the image as I had a deadline. Definitely going going to learn how to make a gradient myself in future 🙂
