How to Align Vector Art to Pixels in Illustrator
Learn how to keep your vector artwork in Illustrator looking crisp when viewed on a screen by quickly aligning it to the pixel grid.
In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Bart Van de Wiele shows how to keep your vector artwork in Illustrator crisp when transitioning it to pixels. Since much of your artwork will ultimately end up being viewed onscreen, you’ll want it to align with the pixel grid to keep everything looking as straight and sharp as possible. Bart comes through with “this one simple tip.”
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
