What resolution should you use for an Illustrator file?
300 DPI
300 DPI is the suggested minimum resolution for a high resolution, qualitative output specifically in print. The result is that you get a crisp, printed package. The fewer dots per inch, the less detail you can see in the design itself, and the lower the DPI, the more pixelated and blurred the image can be.
Does resolution matter with an Illustrator image?
Illustrator always calculates with a resolution of 72 ppi. You need to first export the image at the 600 pixel size. Then open that in Photoshop and set it to 300 ppi without resampling. The problem is that when you export in a size of 600 px and the 300 ppi you will always enlarge the graphic.
How do I check resolution in Illustrator?
To check the DPI of an image in Illustrator, click on the “Window” tab in the top toolbar and scroll down to “Document Info.” You’ll see a section for “Resolution,” which will state the DPI of your design.
How do I fix resolution in Illustrator?

How many pixels per inch are in illustrator?
I show that the photoshop files provided and linked to the illustrator file were 300 pixels per inch each. I am not certain why they embedded the image when I sent them the files as linked, but even my illustrator file shows this PPI.
What’s the difference between 72 and 300 ppi in illustrator?
If you change the value to 300 ppi the program is re interpreting the size, transforming from 72ppi to inches and then again to 300ppi. So basicly just use 72ppi. Illustrator has really no pixel unit, what ot does is it equates pixels with points.
