This is especially helpful when you want to control the precise placement, size, and anti-aliasing of objects in a rasterized graphic. You can preview how objects will appear when rasterized by choosing View > Pixel Preview. When you save artwork in a bitmap format, such as JPEG, GIF, or PNG, Illustrator rasterizes the artwork at 72 pixels per inch. With this property enabled, any new objects that you draw have the pixel-aligned property set by default.įor more information, see Drawing pixel-aligned paths for web workflows. Illustrator also provides the Align New Objects to Pixel Grid option at the document level, which is enabled by default for Web documents. You can enable this property by selecting the Align to Pixel Grid option from the Transform panel. On any transformation, as long as this property is set for the object, it gets realigned to the pixel grid according to its new coordinates. When the pixel-aligned property is enabled for an object, all the horizontal and vertical segments in the object get aligned to the pixel grid, which provides a crisp appearance to strokes. To enable web designers to create pixel accurate designs, the pixel-aligned property has been added in Illustrator.
