Illustrator – Calculate File Dimensions and Resolution for Accurate Output

Confused about how Illustrator calculates resolution? Unsure how file dimensions and resolution work in Illustrator? It’s confusing and practically no one ever tells you what’s going on. But I will!
I’ll explain how Illustrator calculates resolution – so, if you create a file that is 3600 px x 3600 px in size I’ll tell you why, when you export it as a 300 dpi image, its size balloons to 15000 x 15000 px in size. Seriously!
It will all make sense when you know what ‘rules’ Illustrator is playing by. When you know how Illustrator makes these calculations you can learn how to make the calculations yourself so you know how big a starting size image you need to make to get the output you want.
I explain this in detail so you understand exactly what values to put into your calculator to be able to export the Illustrator document as a jpg or png file at the exact dimensions and exact resolution that you want it to be.
