How to convert AI to PNG in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Select one or more .ai files saved from Adobe Illustrator with PDF compatibility, the default.

  2. 2

    PNG is already chosen as the output. Each artboard or page will become its own image.

  3. 3

    Press “Process” and download the PNG images, one by one or together in a ZIP.

Your files never leave your device

This tool runs entirely inside your browser. The file is never uploaded to any server: it is read, processed and downloaded on your own device. When you close or reload the page, it is gone from memory.

From a designer's file to an image you can use

Designers deliver logos, posters, menus, packaging and social media graphics as .ai files, because that's where the vector artwork lives. But the person who needs to use the design, whether to upload a logo to a website builder, add it to a presentation, put it in an email signature or post it, usually needs an image, not an Illustrator document.

PNG is the natural choice for that kind of artwork. It keeps flat colors, text and edges sharp, without the blurry halos that JPG compression can add around lettering and logos. It's accepted by practically every website, app and office program.

One image per artboard, at 200 dpi

Illustrator files often have several artboards: the logo in color and in black, the front and back of a business card, or a set of social posts. ConvertirDocs creates one PNG for each artboard or page stored in the file, so you get every version without opening the file in Illustrator.

The artwork is rendered at 200 dpi, which gives a good, sharp image for screens, documents and most everyday uses. If you need a different pixel size, send the PNG to “Resize image” afterward. For a large print job or for editing the vectors, ask the designer for the original file in the format the printer wants, or use AI to PDF to keep the artwork as vectors.

Requirement: PDF-compatible .ai files

This works because Illustrator, by default, saves a PDF version of the artwork inside the .ai file when the option “Create PDF Compatible File” is on. ConvertirDocs reads that version. If the file was saved with the option turned off, there's nothing it can read, and you'll see a clear message instead of a broken image. Ask the sender to save it again with the default option, or to export a PDF or PNG directly.

Transparent background and next steps

If you need a logo with no background to place over a photo or a colored banner, send the PNG to “Remove white background”, which makes a plain white background transparent. It works well for logos and flat graphics, not for photos with complex backgrounds.

The conversion runs in your browser, so the artwork is never uploaded or stored. Unreleased branding and client files stay with you, there's no account to create, and there's no limit on how many files you convert.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Adobe Illustrator?

No. It works in your browser on a computer or a phone, with no Adobe account.

My file has several artboards. What do I get?

One PNG per artboard or page. With several images, you can download them all in a ZIP.

What resolution are the images?

The artwork is rendered at 200 dpi. Use “Resize image” afterward if you need a specific width or height.

Why does it say the file can't be read?

It was saved without “Create PDF Compatible File”. Ask for it to be saved again with that option on, which is Illustrator's default.

Will the background be transparent?

Send the PNG to “Remove white background” to turn a plain white background transparent.

Should I choose PNG or JPG?

PNG for logos, text and flat graphics, since it keeps edges sharp. JPG for photo-heavy designs where a lighter file matters more; use AI to JPG for that.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The file is processed in your browser and never leaves your device.
