Why are my exported JPGs or PNGs blurry?

You’re likely exporting at too low a resolution (72 PPI) or not aligning your artwork to the pixel grid. Export at 300 PPI for print or @2x for web.

How do I export just one object and not the whole artboard?

Use the Asset Export panel to drag out individual objects and export them directly.

What’s the best way to export for Instagram or social media?

Use Export for Screens with PNG or JPG formats. Export at multiple scales (e.g., 1080px and 2160px) for crisp results across devices.

How do I save a file with a transparent background?

Choose PNG format and ensure Transparent is checked in the background settings.

What’s the difference between Save for Web and Export for Screens?

Save for Web is older, good for optimizing single images with live previews. Export for Screens is modern, faster, and supports multiple artboards/assets.
