There aren’t many posts which are still relevant three years after they are written but I think this one will remain so for many more years to come. Proved very useful to me. Thanks again.

Thank you very much Alec,

Very useful tutorial.

I like the way you have included images step by step, comparing the different results.

Well done!

thank you for the advice. I was really annoyed already, wasting time, looking all over for the solution and feeling stupid… I hate jagged edges!

thank you for posting this. i’m helping a co-worker with their church banner which is currently very jagged in appearance and while i’m pretty good in some applications, I don’t know much photoshop or illustrator which I plan to change shortly. it is nice that to know that i don’t have to redraw the thing by hand because i’m not an artist.

Grateful to have found your information! My friend had a huge graphic she sent to a printer as a .jpeg, for business cards, and they couldn’t get the image to downsize sharply.
In PaintShop Pro X2, there’s no Save For Web Devices choice, but Save For Office gives Advanced Settings to re-size the image, chose quality & file type.
Worked perfectly! I did use the unsharp mask to tweak the new image slightly. Thanks so much!

Hello Kathy,

I would try to open up the AI file in Photoshop and save it for the web from Photoshop and not Illustrator. I don’t use Illustrator much myself, but have had problems saving for the web.

Hi – I was just reading your post on saving images for the web. I am having trouble with a logo, and I can’t figure it out.

It needs to be 85 px wide by 98 px high. I’ve created it in Illustrator at that particular size, then saved it for web (PNG 24) but it always looks blurry when
I publish on IE7. It’s better on Firefox, but horrible on IE7.

Any help would be appreciated….

Thanks, Kathy
