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.
