AI to PNG Converter
Export Illustrator artboards as PNG at up to 4× resolution, with or without a transparent background — no upload.
Works with .ai files from Illustrator 9 or newer saved with “Create PDF Compatible File” (on by default). Illustrator 8 and older can’t be converted.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server — close the tab and your files are gone.
How to convert .ai to PNG
Drop the .ai file
Rendering happens on your own machine, so even a heavy print file does not have to travel anywhere first.
Choose the artboards
Every artboard becomes its own PNG. Pick one for a single image, or several to get them zipped together.
Set the resolution
1× matches the document size. 2× and 4× multiply it — that is how a small artboard becomes a retina-sized or print-sized PNG.
Keep or drop transparency
Leave the background transparent for logos and icons, or untick it to bake in white for slides and documents.
AI to PNG — frequently asked questions
What resolution and DPI do I get?
PDF-based documents measure an inch as 72 points, so 1× produces a 72 DPI image, 2× produces 144 DPI and 4× produces 288 DPI — near enough to the 300 DPI print shops usually ask for.
Does the PNG keep a transparent background?
Yes, as long as the artboard has no background shape of its own. With “Transparent background” ticked the empty areas stay transparent; untick it and they are filled with white.
Can I convert every artboard at once?
Yes. Select all artboards and each one is exported in turn, then packaged into a single ZIP download.
Why do very large artboards come out smaller than I asked?
Browsers cap how big a drawing surface can be. Anything over 8192 px on the long side is scaled to that limit, and a note tells you when it happened. Exporting at a lower scale avoids it.
The colors differ slightly from Illustrator. Why?
Print files are built in CMYK and screens only show RGB, so some colors shift on conversion. Shapes and layout are exact; for color-critical work confirm the final values in Illustrator.
Does the file get uploaded to render the PNG?
No. Both the rendering and the PNG encoding happen in your browser. The file never reaches a server, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.
