Export and share your work with confidence

Save editable files and export artboards and assets for printing, sharing, or posting online—right from Illustrator.

What you’ll need

What you’ll learn

Save your working file

Save your editable .AI file to your device or the cloud so you can reopen it and make changes anytime.

Export for print and delivery

Save as PDF to create a clean, sharable version. For best print results, ask your print provider for recommendations.

Export artboards and individual assets

Use Export for Screens to export full artboards — like flyers or ads. For smaller items, open the Asset Export panel to save individual icons or elements.
Bonus tip: Export your assets in multiple formats — like PDF, PNG, or SVG — to cover both print and digital uses.
