: Illustrator 2017: How do I export a PNG with a diagonal line that is not pixelated? I am trying to create a PNG in Illustrator. It looks smooth and how I want it to look, until I export

I am trying to create a PNG in Illustrator. It looks smooth and how I want it to look, until I export it as a PNG.

I understand that selecting PNG vs PNG 8 can make a difference but I have not experienced it really doing anything.

I have also tried Interlaced v not Interlaced and that has not improved it either.

Is this something where PNG is the wrong format? I am exporting for digital use, but first as an asset in InDesign and they need to be crisp, not pixelated as they have been.

In short, everything on screen is displayed via pixels. Your second image appears to be "zoomed in" or enlarged making pixels more visible.

If you are using Illustrator... save as a native .ai file and place that in InDesign.

I can think of no direct reason to use the PNG format for Illustrator constructed artwork destined for use in InDesign. InDesign supports the import of .ai files just fine.
