Exporting Artboards = Artboard size + 1px

Hello,
I have troubles exporting artboards in png file :
I am making artboard of 100px by 100px in order to make a button when I export it (in 72 DPI) the result is 101px by 101px.
So how can I export in the size i define the artboard ?
Thankyou in advance.
For information I am usind illustrator CC on an iMac.

Hey, I had this same issue even in Illustrator CC 2014. I was looking around and as far as I know, it hasn't been solved, so I thought I should share my findings. Not exactly "fixing" it, but you get what you want.
Dump out artboards as separate illustrator files:
     1. Open your .ai file with all of your artboards
     2. File>Save As
     3. Browse to an empty folder on your desktop or something and hit save
     4. Make sure "Save each artboard as a separate file" is checked and hit ok
          ~Wait for all of the artboards to export to illustrator files
Create an action for batching those illustrator files
     1. Open an illustrator file with an artboard in it
     2. go to Window>Actions
     3. Create a new Action,name it something, and hit record
     4. Go to File>Save for Web
     5. Make sure "Clip to Artboard" is checked on, it is the file type you want, and hit save
     6. Save the file anywhere you want (you can delete it afterwards)
     7. Stop recording
     8. Toggle the Dialog off for the action (in the Actions Window, second column by the checkmark)
     9. Click the Options button in the upper right of the Actions Window, and select Batch at the bottom
     10. Choose your source folder (The folder you dumped the illustrator files into)
     11. Check "Override Action "Export" Commands"
     12. Choose an empty folder for your pngs to be dumped into.
     13. Make sure the Destination is set to Save and Close, and hit OK
          ~Wait for it to Batch your illustrator files.
That should be all you need to do to get your artboards exported to pngs without that annoying 1px error. Not the quickest thing in the world, but still way faster than saving every single artboard for web, one at a time.
I hope this helps.

  • How do I stop Illustrator automatically adding numbers to file name when exporting with artboard?

    I need to export with artboard. Illustrator automatically adds a number to my original file name. It won't even let me replace the old file. It is extremely annoying and makes flow with other programs really hard because they can't auto update, since the file name  changes. When you have multiple files, you can't be manually renaming all the time. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.

    This has been discussed a few times, and here is a summary of the usual solutions.

    What is it EXACTLY you are trying to do. Are you trying to export a single page from filename.ai  and make it filename.psd, (without any number afterwards). In that case you could delete the extra artboards prior to export, and then you won't have to checked use artbaords as there is only one page. Otherwise I would plan ahead so your end result will be filename-01.jpg,  filename-02.jpg, and then everytime you use export artbaords those names will replace.
    I am happy with the function as is, and would prefer to have a serial number automatically after the name when checking use artboards. But sounds liek you and others desire more options and thte ability to turn off adding to the filename.

  • Exporting Multiple Artboards of Different Formats Easily

    I have one document with multiple artboards. I need to export each artboard with different formats and ppi. Is there a way I can do this quickly and efficiently without having to export each artboard individually? Thank you in advance for your time, insight, and help.

    Thanks for the reply Wade.
    It an unusual sitatution. I have a whole document created in illustrator. I'm handing it over to a client for them to work on in-house and they've requested an inDesign file. Ideally I'd like a way of exporting my ai file into an indd file. Haven't been able to find a way of doing this at the moment.

  • In Indesign CS6 I export an artboard to  TIFF with the sdk's funtion SnapshotUtilsEx- ExportImageToTIFF(iStream) and, the resulting file is one pixel too large in the X, leaving a transparent strip on one edge. Any idea if there is a bug in the sdk?

    In Indesign CS6 I export an artboard to  TIFF with the sdk's funtion SnapshotUtilsEx->ExportImageToTIFF(iStream) and, the resulting file is one pixel too large in the X, leaving a transparent strip on one edge. Any idea if there is a bug in the sdk?

    An easy example to prove this bug of Indesing CS6:  I create a psd with Photoshop CS6, with width 505 pixels, height 317 pixels and a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. This psd is placed on a page in InDesign CS6. Then I try to export it as a tiff with the functions:
    fSnapshotUtilsEx->Draw(flags,fullResolutionGraphics,greekBelowPtSize,enableAntiAliasing,tr ansparencyQuality,abortCheck,pVPAttrMap,bDrawNonPrintingObjects);
    and
    SnapshotUtilsEx-> ExportImageToTIFF (iStream)
    The resulting tiff has a width of 506 pixels (one pixel more in width). It will happen the same if we start with a width of 507 pixels, etc.
    This error does not occur with Indesign CS5, nor Indesing CC.

  • Export Multi-artboard filename without prefix slash

    My mac OS version is OS X 10.10.2.
    Since i update the Illustrator from cc to cc2014,
    when i export multi-artboard images,
    the artboard image filename will be automatic added a slash mark in the first character position,
    like "/someprefix_artboardname.png"
    The correct filename should be"someprefix_artboardname.png".
    It won't happened in Illustrator CC.

    I have been using this method successfully for quite some time with these exact files, only in the last few days has this problem shown up.
    When I originally made the template in indesign, I imported the pdf, showed import options, and linked the pages to the same page number in the pdf. 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc. My original thought was that this setting had been lost, so deleted the linked pdf and imported it again to try to get the 1 to 1 link. However, that did not change anything and I noticed that the page that shows up by itself in the pdf is almost always page 2, not page 1. If the page-to-page connection had been lost, all of the pages in indesign would be linking to page 1 as is the default behavior for linked pdfs.
    Also, I thought that the save issue would be on the illustrator side too, so I tried resaving it but that didn't work either. The only way that I can get the file to work is if I remake it completely and save over the old file.
    Now, I know that you're most likely thinking that this is an illustrator issue, but I don't think that it is one or the other, but rather both of them. The screenshots that I attached above are not the only way this error manifests itself. Sometimes the pdf looks right in acrobat, but once it is linked it displays with a transparency, shows only a few of the pages, or shows none at all.
    I'm probably going in circles here, but I cannot figure out which program is the cause of the error or if there are two different issues that are happening at the same time.

  • Png exported from Illustrator is 1px too big - why?

    Hi,
    I have designed a button for a GUI at 80px by 49px within an artboard that is exactly the same size.
    I have exported the artboard as a .png.
    When I look at the .png details in Adobe bridge it shows the dimensions as 81px by 50px (1px bigger in both directions.
    I have imported this .png into my wireframing software (Axure) and this confirms that the .png is 81x40px.
    Why is Illustrator changing the size?
    Thanks

    Is now!
    Sorry it's been a while and I totally forgot about that
    Doh
    Thanks

  • Aperture is exporting large file size e.g. original image is 18.2MB and the exported version (TFF 16 Bit) is 47.9MB, any ideas please

    Aperture is exporting large file size e.g. original image is 18.2MB and the exported version (TFF 16 Bit) is 47.9MB, any ideas please

    Raws, even if not compressed, Sould be smaller than a 24-bit Tiff, since they have only one bitplane. My T3i shoots 14 bit 18MP raws and has a raw file size of 24.5 MB*. An uncompressed Tiff should have a size of 18 MP x 3 bytes per pixel or 54 MB.
    *There must be some lossless compression going on since 18 MP times 1.75 bytes per pixel is 31.5MB for uncompressed raw.

  • When I export photos from Aperture, the pixel dimensions are halved thus losing data.  I have set the export preferences to export at original size, to no avail.  This happens even if I just drag to the desktop and then back, or if I export into my iphoto

    When I export photos from Aperture to desktop or iphoto I lose pixels.  The pixel dimensions are halved, despite setting the export preference to export at original size.  Anyone know why or how to correct this?

    Dragging an Image from Aperture exports the Preview.  Preview parameters are set on the Previews tab of Aperture preferences.
    Are you seeing the same results when you export using one of the export commands?
    Is so, confirm that the settings in the selected Image Export Preset ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export") truly represent those in the Image Export Preset's name.

  • "Limit Capture/Export File Segment Size To" doesn't work

    I put the limit to 4000 MB before i startet capturing HD-video, but it didn't work. Several of my files are bigger than 4 GB. This is a problem since I use an online back up service that has 5 GB as the maximum file limit. Any suggestion to fix this problem is highly appreciated.

    I believe, although I am not 100% sure, that the "Limit Capture/Export File Segment Size To" does not apply to Log and Transfer, only Log and Capture.
    Since Log and Capture works with tape sources, when the limit is hit, the tape can be stopped, pre-rolled and started again to create another clip
    In the case of Log and Transfer, it is ingesting and transcoding existing files; the clip lengths (and therefore size) are already determined by the source clip.
    If you are working with very lengthy clips, you may want to set in and out points to divide the clips into smaller segments.

  • Using the Premiere pro CC 2014 exported media file size is much larger than estimate, also is so much bigger than Premiere CS 6?

    I used the preset H,264 Youtube 1080HD to export a video. The estimate size is 7308 MB {after I reduce the nitrate). The final size is 11.18 GB.
    Why is so much different? Befor I Use the Premiere CS6 to export a simial size use the same format Is around 6GB.

    First of all, the estimated file size just an estimate based chiefly on the combination of the bitrate and duration. The actual size can vary significantly, depending in large part on the amount of change from frame to frame throughout the video. For example, if you encode two clips of identical duration to exactly the same settings, the only difference being the nature of the content--say on is a talking head interview shot with the camera locked down on a tripod while the other is skateboarding footage that was shot handheld--the size of two resulting outputs files will be widely divergent.
    As to the comparison between CS6 and CC2014, note that the settings for some presets have been changed. For instance, the h.264 YouTube 1080 presets went from 8Mbps to 16.

  • My file and artboard changes size when I export

    I all, I'm working on a file that I have setup as 1045 px by 154 px. When I export this file to jpeg, png or bmp the file become over 4000 px wide. This is likely an easy thing I'm missing. Can anyone shed some light?
    Thank you
    Nelson

    Hi Monika, thanks for the latest response. I have considered that... but this is a very wierd one with a bit of background. This is for a super old system that needs a 1 bit file in black and white (exported as a bitmap) with 300 dpi resolution. I have no idea why it needs to be so specific... but they mentioned that the system will not except anything else. Hence my odd request for help.
    So I set this up in Illustrator, 1045 px by 154 px and then converted to greyscale and then exported to 1 bit bitmap which makes it true black. The problem is that when I open the file in Photoshop it shows that it's over 4000 px wide.The problem with this is that when I resize, this 1 bit image looks aweful. So I would rather export from Illustrator to the actual size.
    Thanks again for helping me with this.

  • How do I export all artboards to a png without cropping?

    I've got a 2x8 (wide) grid of artboards, and would like to export all of them to a single PNG as they appear.  Unfortunately, Illustrator (CS6) is cropping the edges of the PNG to the objects in the artboards, rather than to the edges of the outer artboards.  Is there some way to change this behaviour?
    I've tried creating an unstroke, unfilled object that encompasses all of the artboards, but Illustrator seems to be ignoring it in the export (presumably because it's not printed).
    Are there any other tricks I can try?

    Then all objects need to be on one artboard. If you want the layout like you are seeing all the pages from a distance. Then create a rectangle that fills each artboard and give it a stroke. Group the page, then move all the groups to a single artboard. Select all, cut, paste. The artboard that contains all the objects can be scaled to fit the contents if necessary. (found in the artboard properties) You may want to create a rectangle to the large artboard as well so the page size is correct when saving to png.
    If you want to keep the artboards for other exporting jobs. Do the above on a copy of the ai file.
    You know what, before doing the above, just create a rectangle on the large artboard so that it surrounds all the artboards. Export that to png. When writing the above, it dawned on me that it is necessary to create a page border so that the image crops correctly for the page. Jeesh, I wish I could think right... Anyway, one way or the other should do the trick.

  • Is javascript capable of exporting specific artboards to a jpg?

    I can export a single artboard to a jpg using the GUI but "artboardRange" doesn't do anything when exporting to a jpg.
    I can use the artboardRange in the pdf save options and that works fine but, while the artboard selection is there in the jpg export dialog in the windows gui I can't get this to work in javascript.
    Am I going to have to copy my content to a separate document containing only what I want and then export from that?
    I tried changing the visibility of objects I didn't want on the jpg but that just leaves a blank area in the resulting jpg even with "artboardClipping" = true. Actually, I don't know that artboardclipping even does anything from what I've tried.
    Any suggestions or does this just not work in JavaScript with CS4?
    Edit:
    If I export to a jpg and use the artboards then a separate jpg is made for each artboard included with a prefix of the artboard # in the name, i.e. filename-01.jpg and filename-02.jpg. It'd be great if I could script this correctly.

    Yeah, these are only document methods in Illustrator.
    Actually, saveAs using PDFSaveOptions doesn't work right either. If I specify an artboard with artboardRange is doesn't do anything different; it just puts each artboard on a separate page in a pdf. However, if I set artboardRange to an empty string it actually changes the name of the current document to a .pdf and THEN I can resave it by adding the artboardRange during the second try which seems a bit odd.
    At this point I don't believe the "Use Artboards" and the "Range" options which are available in the GUI function correctly in Javascript for either saveAs or exportFile which is annoying as I need this to work.
    Also, the PDFSaveOptions.artboardRange string is actually validated and must be either blank or a valid range expression. If I have 2 artboards and I specify '3' it'll fail but if I specify '1' or '2' it still saves all of the artboards. The saveMultipleArtboards option does nothing.

  • Exporting Specific Artboards into .PDF

    I would like to know if it is possible to export only specific artboards from a CS4 .ai file as a .pdf like you can select them for print. I can't figure out how or find any info on that subject. (ie: I want to export artboards 2 and 4 in .pdf format for customer proof.)

    While saving as pdf, in the Save dialog, choose the Range option & input: 2,4.
