ConvertWhat happens when you convert AI to JPEG
- JPEG is another name for JPG; files ending in .jpeg work here.
- The artwork is drawn at the resolution you choose, and empty areas stay transparent wherever JPEG supports it.
- Works with AI files saved with "Create PDF Compatible File", which is Illustrator's default.
- JPEG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a background color you choose (white by default).

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
Is it free? Are there limits?
It's completely free, with no sign-up, watermarks or daily limits. The only limit is your device's memory for very large files.
Can I convert many AI files at once?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like; they're converted one after another and you can download them all as a ZIP.
Will converting AI to JPEG reduce quality?
Pages are drawn fresh at the resolution you pick, so text and vector shapes stay sharp. Use 300 dpi for print-quality images.
Does JPEG keep transparency?
JPEG doesn't support transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a background color you can choose.
What about documents with several pages?
Each page becomes its own image, named with its page number, and you can download them all as a ZIP.
