Preview Illustrator artwork as a shareable image
Logos, icons and illustrations saved as .ai can only be viewed by people with Adobe Illustrator installed. This converter renders the first artboard of your .ai file to a crisp 200 DPI PNG you can drop into an email, slide deck or web page. Both modern PDF-compatible .ai files (Illustrator 9 and later) and legacy PostScript-based ones are supported, and your file is processed entirely in memory — never stored.
About Converting AI to PNG
Adobe Illustrator’s .ai format is perfect for editing but useless for sharing — you cannot paste it into a slide deck, preview it in a chat, or put it on a web page. This converter renders the first artboard of your .ai file to a high-resolution 200 DPI PNG, giving you an image you can use anywhere. Modern .ai files (Illustrator 9 and later, saved with the default PDF-compatibility option) are read directly from their embedded PDF representation; older PostScript-only files are rendered in a network-free sandbox.
Everything happens in memory on our servers: your artwork is never written to persistent storage and is deleted the instant your PNG is ready.
Common use cases
- Previewing an .ai file someone sent you without installing Illustrator
- Dropping a logo or illustration into a presentation, document or email
- Creating a raster copy of vector artwork for a website or social post
- Generating quick visual previews when sorting through a folder of .ai assets
Tips for best results
- The first artboard (page 1) is rendered; for files with multiple artboards, export each one from Illustrator or convert to PDF first to get every page.
- Output is rendered at 200 DPI — crisp enough for screens and most documents. For unlimited scaling, use the AI to SVG tool instead.
- PNG is lossless, so gradients and fine linework are preserved exactly as rendered.
How to Convert AI to PNG Online
Here is how a AI → PNG conversion works on PrivConvert, from start to finish. What you gain with PNG: lossless compression keeps every pixel intact.
Drag and drop your file into the upload area, click to browse your device, or paste a URL to a file hosted online. You can upload files up to 250 MB and batch convert up to 20 files at once.
Once uploaded, the conversion from AI to PNG starts automatically. The process runs entirely in an isolated environment - your data never leaves the secure pipeline.
Your converted file is ready instantly. Click the download button to save it to your device. The file is deleted from memory immediately after download.
Private by design, not as an afterthought
Most online converters upload your files to a server, keep them for days, and may mine them for AI training or resale. PrivConvert was built the opposite way — around your privacy.
Runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS — no install, plugin or desktop software needed.
Each job runs in an isolated in-memory sandbox, so most conversions finish in seconds instead of waiting in a queue.
We never keep a copy. Once your PNG is delivered, both the original and the result are gone — there is nothing left to leak or misuse.
Every conversion runs in its own locked-down process with no network access, so files can never leak or interfere with one another.
