Convert AI to PNG in the Browser

Drop an Adobe Illustrator .ai file on this page, pick the artboard you want, and download it as a high-resolution PNG - no Illustrator, no signup, no upload. The artwork is rendered on your own device by the same engine as the AI viewer, drawing the PDF-compatible rendition every modern .ai file carries, so gradients, transparency and text come out the way Illustrator shows them. It is the quick way to turn a vector logo or design into an image that works everywhere.

Every Artboard, Full Resolution

Illustrator files often hold several artboards - logo variants, icons, spreads. Each one appears in the list with a thumbnail; click it (or use the arrow keys) and the Download button exports exactly that artboard. The output is rendered at high resolution from the vector data, not from a small embedded preview, and PNG keeps transparent backgrounds intact. JPG (flattened onto white - or go straight to AI to JPG) and WebP are in the format menu when PNG is not the target.

What Makes an AI File Convertible

Every .ai saved by Illustrator 9 or later with "Create PDF Compatible File" checked - the default for over two decades - contains a complete PDF rendition of the artwork, and that is what gets rendered here. Very old EPS-based files from Illustrator 8 and earlier lack it; the page detects them and names the exact checkbox to re-save with, rather than failing with a generic error. The rendering engine loads only when a file is opened, so the page stays fast.

When You Need More Than PNG

To inspect a file rather than convert it - artboard sizes in points and millimeters, the Illustrator version that made it, the PDF version - the AI viewer presents the same engine for browsing. To push the converted image further into TIFF, BMP, ICO or PDF, hand the PNG to the converter. Photoshop documents convert the same way with PSD to PNG.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI to PNG Conversion

How do I convert an AI file to PNG without Illustrator?

Load the .ai file here, choose the artboard, and click Download. The artwork renders in your browser and saves as a high-resolution PNG. Nothing is installed and the file is never uploaded.

Does the PNG keep a transparent background?

Yes. Artwork with no background renders onto transparency, and PNG and WebP preserve it. JPG flattens onto white, since the format has no transparency.

Can I convert all artboards?

Each artboard exports individually: select it in the list and download. Repeat for as many artboards as you need - each file is named with its artboard number.

Why does my AI file fail to convert?

Almost always it is a legacy file from Illustrator 8 or older, or one saved with "Create PDF Compatible File" unchecked. Re-saving in Illustrator with that option on (it is the default) fixes it - the page tells you when this is the case.

Is my artwork uploaded anywhere?

No. Rendering and export run entirely in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
