My circular designs are coming out "choppy"--that is, instead of being a neatly rounded circle, at least one point (top-most, bottom-most, left-most, right-most) in the circle comes out as if it's partly a straight line.

By circular design, I mean creating logos and icons that are within a circle--a circle created by AI's Ellipse Tool.

Inside AI, I see that it's a perfect circle, even if I significantly zoom in. Whenever I save my designs for web, however, I get this "choppy" look. I am saving my images to a PNG-24 file--as that seems to be the highest quality. (File -> Save For Web..)

I have tried adjusting the artboard of my design--ensuring that it is larger than the design itself, but I get the same problem nonetheless. How do I fix this?

Increase the Resolution in AI's export to PNG option to something over 1000px at least.

I've found that saving vector files from Illustrator as .svg format gives better results, if you're using those images for the web. You might try that. I was having the same issue with a logo I built in Illustrator; when I saved it as .svg instead of .png, the quality was much better.
