Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. That's an expected behavior when you export images with 96 DPI. For exact dimensions, please use 72 DPI.
This has been explained in detail on this similar discussion (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/export-png-300-ppi-pixel-increase-which-times/m-p/10210774?page=1).
Let us know if this helps or if you have any further questions.

 

Regards,

Srishti

Save your images 32x32px at 72 ppi.

Open them in Photoshop an use: Image > Image Size to change the Resolution to 96 pixels/inch.

Make sure Resample is unchecked

Thank you for the answer but the problem is the images definition.

On the left you can see an icon good and on the right my exportation.

Why can't I get an image with clean lines?

Do you check your images with View > Pixel Preview?

Do you use View > Snap to Pixel?

What were your settings to get the good icon?

The good icon was created with Photoshop.

The exportation by Illustrator to raster (png) is not clean. Is it normal?

In Illustrtator:

Do you check your images with View > Pixel Preview at 100% (or 200%)?

Do you use View > Snap to Pixel to align your lines to the pixelgrid??

I tried with your indications and I seen the icons like my png (no clear). I discovered the problem are the tracks in Illustrator. I see the tracks non good, but the shapes are perfect.

I'm building icons with Photoshop, now because I do not find other solutions.   😞

I don't understand what you mean by tracks, but have a look here for pixel perfect art:

Alternatively:

 

32 px at 96 PPI is 0.3333* inches. Make an 0.333x0.333 in artboard, export that at 96 PPI.
