Activity Forums Adobe Illustrator White Pixels Around .ai file saved as .png

  • White Pixels Around .ai file saved as .png

    This has been asked twice before on these forums I believe, but neither one was exactly my problem, and regardless, both suggested solutions did not work.

    Basically my problem is that I’ve created an image that obviously is pristine in Illustrator. When I save it to .png though, which is what needs to be done for use on our website, it has a thin line about 1 px wide of white pixels on parts of it. This occurs whether I have strokes or not.

    I’ve included an image, with a black background so you can see. Any help is greatly appreciated as our site launches soon.

    Are you saving as PNG-8 with a white matte maybe, or PNG-24?
    Can you attach your file.

    Try copying the vector and pasting it into a photoshop document with transparent background, then save as a PNG through photoshop.

    so… are you building the file in Illustrator and then copying it out of illustrator and placing it into photoshop? you might want to give a break down of your work flow…

    File/Save for Web & Devices allows you to export a web ready image in PNG in both 8 and 24. again like by Vincent Rosati said. selecting 24 is key to making the cleanest alpha channel. PNG-24 should stop any white fringing around the alpha channel. which happens often with object that have drop shadows, and outer glows.
