Cropping in Illustrator Solved

Question

Hi everyone

In Photoshop, there is a cropping tool that allows us to cut out unwanted parts of our work and export the desired central part... In Illustrator, I can't do that... I crop with the Artboard tool, but it doesn't change anything... when I export my work, I get the complete image back!!

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance

You can incorporate the image, release the mask, and crop to the edge of your artboard..

Your export will reproduce what you have on the artboard, but your image will always be larger than the visible part..

Illustrator is a vector drawing software..

The ideal is to export as PDF, because in this case you can use the page areas to automatically crop the image in layout software.

To crop your image to the size of your workspace, you need to create a clipping mask (menu "Object/Clipping Mask/Create") or press Ctrl+7 when your image is selected.

Then you will have the option to reduce the sides of your image without changing its size. BUT this does not change the JPG export, which will always be the same size. The difference is that you will have a white area around the visible part of the image.

At this point, a simple crop in an image editing software will solve the problem.
