How to Change the Resolution in Adobe Illustrator

Developed by Adobe Systems and included in its Creative Suite of design and development software, Illustrator supports the creation of graphics such as drawings, charts, graphs, cartoons and other illustrations. Because the program saves design elements in a vectorized format that scales to any size, you cannot change the resolution of an Illustrator file directly. However, if you choose to export the content of a file to an alternate format, such as JPEG, Illustrator gives you the ability to specify your preferred resolution.

Step

Open in Adobe Illustrator the file you want to export.

Step

Click "File" in the top menu bar and select "Export."

Step

Select in the resulting dialog box the folder where you want the exported file saved.

Step

Give the file a name within the "File Name" field.

Step

Click the "Save as Type" drop-down menu and select your preferred format.

Video of the Day

Step

Click "Save."

Step

Click the "Depth" drop-down menu within the "Resolution" section of the screen that follows and select "Custom."

Step

Enter your preferred resolution value in the "Custom" field.

Step

Click "OK." Illustrator will export your artwork to the selected format, at the selected resolution, within a few seconds.
