Dimensions off by 1 pixel in Adobe Illustrator, if you export a picture, generally is a very easy repair. No extra post-resize work in Photoshop or anyplace else, so as to have the correct dimensions. Assumed, now we have set the scale of our artboard in Illustrator appropriately.
This can be a must-read, particularly once we are engaged on a undertaking that requires precision and accuracy and there’s no house for small “errors”.
On this article, we’re going to current the difficulty and repair it.

Dimensions off by 1 pixel, the difficulty:
Generally once we export an artboard from Illustrator, let’s say a sq. picture of a brand (1024×1024 pixels), the scale usually are not fairly proper, by 1 pixel. Both 1 pixel up or down on Width or Peak, or each. You possibly can confirm this by going to the properties of that particular picture, within the particulars tab, and searching for the picture dimensions part.
It was alleged to be 1024×1024 pixels, and but it’s off by 1 pixel, in each Width and Peak.
As I mentioned, it solely occurs typically. However let me inform you that. Is just not by chance in any respect.
I’m fairly positive, everybody has stumbled into this, and it’s fairly annoying in case you ask me. Particularly in case you export a bunch of artboards-images from Illustrator and every one among them has that “dimensions off by 1 pixel” subject. In that case, you’ll most likely open all of them in Photoshop and resize them, so as to remove that 1 pixel.
The right way to repair the difficulty:
As we mentioned, it will likely be a simple repair.
So, the explanation that now we have that one pixel off for our export picture, is that our artboard place in Illustrator has a decimal (not a complete quantity).
In my case, for instance, it has place X: 2780.2 and place Y: 928.7.
Be aware: X = Width and Y = Peak
It ought to be X: 2780 and Y: 928, so as to remove that additional 1 pixel in each Width and Peak.
After establishing the X and Y of our artboard place appropriately, we’ll get the scale of our picture appropriate.
Be aware: We should repair each X and Y artboard positions, in any other case if we repair let’s say the X place (by eliminating the decimal), our export picture will nonetheless have 1 pixel off for the Y place, which is able to result in one pixel off for the Peak dimension.
